That's cool!  Very rarely do I hear someone quote the character "Oddball", played by Donald Sutherland from the classic "Kelly's Heroes."


I loved him. I liked Sutherland's M*A*S*H character also.

I'm drinking wine and eating cheese, and catching some rays, you know.

Status: offline 		Ah Peon, you have rattled my cage now! I teach in a secondary school, and my pet hates are:

1. Use of the phrase "Know what I mean?"....for example "He was, like, going to my house and, like, turns up with his mate Barry and says, like, "You know Bazza, right?" and I'm like "who's Bazza?" and he's like "me mate Bazza" and I'm like going mental cos me dad says I'm not like allowed to bring strange boys home when he's out, know what I mean?"

2. Related to this is the word 'goes'. It's not GOES, it's SAID!!!! "He goes I'm dead clever". He goes WHERE?? No, you silly cow, he SAID you're dead clever! And he's wrong.

3. That irritating questioning intonation in which teenage girls pretend they're some kind of hybrid californian beach bunny/australian beach bunny and every sentence ends with a rising inflection. So a simple sentence such as "the answer is 2a Miss" turns into "the answer is 2a, Miss?". Bloody annoying.

My final peeve is why I teach older kids not the little ones. I went to the primary class (kids 5 and 6 years old) and I swear the sleeves on my jacket where twice as wide as when I went in with little kids tugging at them and saying "Miss Miss Miss Miss MISSMISSMISSMISSMISSSSSSS!!!!!!"

*shudders*

Another that drove him crazy was "there was this _____" : he's say "THIS what?"

I totally agree. I say it all the time, doesn't seem to bother anyone I know.

We don't only have 'like', we also have 'yo' (not sure whether this is a greeting or a way of getting someone's attention) and 'my gawd' and we also seem to be getting into the American meaning of 'guy', as in 'you guys' - not gender specific.

Oh and the other one - 'dude'. This seems to be replacing 'bloke', 'fella' and even 'geezer'.

But it's not so much the teenagers that irritate me so much.. I was a teenager once (well, in some respects I still am) but it's the office workers, people who I feel should know better.

I wouldn't mind so much, but the mobile phone forces you to listen to this crap. Some evenings I can get on a bus and be one of only two or three people on a full lower deck who isn't talking to someone on a mobile phone.

And yes, Bridget Jones lives on.. and she has a Blackberry.. It's phrases like..

'at this moment in time'

'with all due respect'

'absolutely'

'twenty four seven'

'fairly unique'

'I personally'

I'm sure there's many more of these annoying phrases. Whatever happened to speaking properly?

You don't get this in the USA? I thought English girls copied it from their American counterparts. This unbelievably annoying thing of using the word 'like' every other word. It irritates the tits off me.

I was sitting in a cafe today, trying to reading my paper, minding my own business and hoping that everyone else would do likewise. I was surrounded by teenaged girls, wittering away on the tables around me. Jesus. They can't squeeze out a sentence without using the word 'like' at least three times.

I started dozing in the sun. It began to sound like a duckpond.
Are you a little irritable (or more easily irritated) these days in general?! They were minding their own business as well, I imagine.
You're going to look strange without tits though, even though they're small.

I have my cranky moments too, where I'm annoyed by other peoples' normal/happy moments. Mine, was/is hearing the word "conversate." M

Get is the MOST DIFFICULT word to teach. it has SOoooooo many meanings.

to have
to pay
to become
to convince
to understand
to arrive
to receive
to catch
to prepare
to create
to be overcome with emotion
to memorize
to take

and then as a noun:

a divorce


Let's not even start with phrasal verbs! Ack!

This is also what I believed until a Canadian teacher convinced me otherwise.

We were trying to solve one of the major bugbears of teaching English as a second language - teaching a foreign student the difference between 'have' and 'have got'. Seriously, if anyone is a language teacher this specific problem costs you sleep and time trying to think up ways how to teach it in a way that students will 'get' it (yes, I know, please don't shoot me).

Get is one of those 'psychology' words, like do, make, take, and have. Native speakers of English use all these words to indicate what they feel and think about a given activity.

For example consider the difference in feeling and implication between 'make love' and 'have sex'. Similarly there's a difference between 'taking a shower' and 'having a shower'.

Now 'get' implies a choice, an intention, determination, something you obtain, or something that happens as a result of a choice or a decision.. Literally 'to go' after something.

get married
get divorced
get a pizza
get the beers in

Consider that to 'get caught' you have made a choice to do something that you're not supposed to be doing, and to 'get wet' is to put yourself in a position where you become exposed to water. For example, going out in the rain and choosing not to take an umbrella.

This is the only difference, and its a negligible one, and if you ask fifty different native speakers of English you're going to get at least a dozen different opinions. English is a universal language, it's non-standard, even in the countries where it is the native language where you will always find at least two standards, if not more.

This is why when a native speaker of English opens their mouth and speaks you can generally tell where they come from or where they have spent a major part of their lives, their education, their social class, their occupational field, and so much more, all coded in the way they speak the language.

Personally I found the biggest difficulty was teaching students how spelling and pronunciation worked together. I mean you have 'cough', then you have 'bough', and then you have 'enough', and then 'through', and then 'thought'.

And usually by then you have a group of confused students looking at you as if you've just arrived from the planet Mars.

Give it 100% - that's all we want! That's all we care about!
