It's my pet hate. It makes me weep for the English language and logic itself.

(Meant in a light hearted way btw so don't be offended :P It's funny, honest)

I'm American, and I loved this. I also love English grammar and David Mitchel

if the queen wants me to stop all that, then the president wants that guy to get some braces.

ckmama

I was thinking the same thing. ROTFL

leynak

Well, I thought it was funny :laugh: & I don't use those phrases so I guess I'm allowed to laugh?

leilahh

I laughed so hard at this that I snorted, haha!

Love it! I've never seen this guy before. It looks like he makes a lot of videos, but I hope there is an entire series devoted to poor grammar - or at least America's poor grammar. I don't care what you Brits do with your grammar. There are so many terms and phrases that are misspoken or misused in the U.S. It drives me crazy - or is it mad?

ckmama

my favorite is when people speak in text:laugh: I wonder if they misspell it in their heads too.

um guys, his snaggle tooth is fake. by laughing at it i'm pretty sure you're proving his underlying point.

Schwarzeaugen

^ I wish there were a 'like button' haha for the above comment.

When faced with intellect and logic: make fun of appearance. Yeahhhhh. Sounds about right.

suzycreamcheese

sexforjaffacakes

Certainly does....

I have the biggest crush on David MItchell have done since the Peep Show days.

:laugh: yeah but what about all the jacked up teeth on the bottom? But, really I couldn't care less:laugh:

sexforjaffacakes

LOL whether his tooth is fake or not, why is it the first thing y'all jump on? I well would, I love David Mitchell. And he has a way better body than most us people on this website, if we really wanna start poking fun at looks.

And FYI, people in Britain these days actually have better teeth than in America, because we don't have to pay a fortune for our health care - even poor people have nice teeth here ^^

pumpkinmoccasin

I'm so glad I was raised to speak properly.

NotGoddess

I had to giggle when I watched this because I do use the phrase 'I could care less' - meaning exactly that I do care a little, usually because whatever is a important to the person mentioning the topic.

Lol I like that video. But the David Mitchel video wasn't about people using grammar or language wrongly, it was about a phrase that doesn't make sense at all logically in any way in any language.
He says Americans are free to do what they like with the language!
Just no one should use that phrase because it's wrong xD without actually getting into arguments about spelling and grammar, it just makes no sense.

This whole thing is idiotic to me. No matter where you go people will never speak completely proper. People use slang, or certain sayings that are not "proper" but are accepted. Every where you go in the world, people have there own way of saying things. Just because it isn't "proper" or doesn't make sense to you doesn't make it wrong. Who the heck cares. It kind of frightens me that you care so much about something so trivial.

PS. I don't think that MFP is really the forum for this anyway.

cjcarson87

yes, let us use MFP to make fun of the way people talk rather than encourage them to loose weight. good for you.
