What about people who say "Sked-jool" instead of "Shed-jool" and people who post "break lights" instead of "brake lights".
And the much berated clowns who refer to their Land Rover as a Jeep. WTF is that all about?

Media outlets using phrases such as "the [some event/film/music/whatever] that everyone is talking about". Really? Everyone's talking about it, are they? Never heard of it and I've spoken to a lot of people today.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
