I was recently told I needed help with my pedantry addiction. Want to start a self-help group, J?


What really is annoying is when people say and write "would of" instead of would have or would've. God it's annoying. Is this a middle class thing? I'm sure the working class would not be so stupid.

And that shopping at Sainsbury's is for snobs only! :D


I've never heard of Beko in my puff. Except for that Peter Gabriel tune.
