8 is pretty cold in my book. Definitely not shorts and t shirt weather.

I have an otherwise educated mate who always says "nothink" and "somethink". Grinds my gears.

There's a couple of people who sit behind me at the footy and it's nails on a chalkboard. "I fink that's tewwible". Shudder.

 

[Neese]

Up there with people who say like every second word.

 

[Aussie_boy]

What about people who say ‘I seen that’?

I always thought it was ‘I saw that’ but I see and hear this so often I’m really starting to question myself.

I seen is another example of poor grammar. Seen should be used with have, has, had etc. (I have seen that film) whereas saw comes after a noun/pronoun (I saw him write could of instead of could've).

That’s what I thought but I honestly see ‘I seen’ more than ‘I saw’, so I started to question myself.

Minimum 8 Maximum 20 is still shorts and t shirt weather!

No it isn't.

Hmmm.

Non-person pronouns (He and she).

A few people from my high school have got our old teachers on Fb. Wonder if those teachers feel like failures when they see the way their former students write.

I don't think your old teachers are following ex-students on social media for thier grammar

I catch up for an occasional drink with one of my old teachers and he reckons that after over thirty years teaching he can't go anywhere in the world without running into one of his former pupils.

Brisbanites who are rugged up to the hilt.

Are you ******* serious?

Minimum 8 Maximum 20 is still shorts and t shirt weather!

Wait until summer when all the recent arrivals are fainting from the heat and whining that they want to go back to Victoria.

8 degrees flow chart:

Am I playing or watching sport?
Is it snowing and will there be snow sports on offer?

If no to A or B then proceed to "stay inside".

27 and sunny or GTFO.

Good chance you'll hear that within the 4 walls of an afl club

I am actually annoyed at the suggestion that 8 degrees = shorts and shirts weather. Definitely the same type of person that scratches their head at why people carry umbrellas rather than just letting themselves get rained on.

The “look at how tough I am” types.
