That last one was good! Can I "get"... in place of "may I have..." currently grinds my gears.  Agree with both of these and would like to add the use of "one hundred percent" when "yes" or "definitely" would suffice. Also the spurious addition of the word 'even' (as in "I don't even know") and the equally spurious use of the word "literally" when speaking figuratively. Just don't get me started on apostrophes... Meanwhile back on topic, I'm of the age where I'm more comfortable with analogue than digital so if that makes me non-binary, I'm happy to be at the forefront of the revolution.
"of" instead of "have" as in "I Could of hit him" "are" instead of "our" as in "it's are right" and shouldn't it be apostrophe's

Newman made a complete and utter mammary of herself, going in aggressively and needlessly "hard" right from the off. Peterson quietly and very politely demolished her with a nuanced performance, comprehensively exposing her for what she is. To think she thought she could take on a Professor of Psychology from the University of Toronto and "win" is delusional; she also very quickly changed the subject so many times when she was "losing" that I lost count. You realise her job was to challenge him, not agree with him. It may have been a losing position, but that was her job.

True, but it wasn't a fair fight 'smug expert' versus 'lamb to the slaughter'.  I gave up halfway through too cringe worthy.

She shouldn't have tried "doing a Paxman" if she couldn't back it up, she was WAY out of her depth. She just shouldn't have been given the gig, she wasn't and isn't up to it intellectually, and needed to calm down and stop being one of the "wimmin".

She isn't intellectually challenged, Oxbridge educated. Her mistake was to continue pushing her rampant feminist views about the gender pay gap, when there are myriad reasons that explain it. She's just deaf to the arguments, like most of them.

I wonder if Mr O'Connell is a seven days a week regular at his local, and spends the rest of his time in his Man Shed?  "Newman married writer John O'Connell, whom she met at university, in 2001" |
