I had walked through the doorway, and saw an elderly man approaching. Naturally, I held the door open for him. He looked me up and down and said, "Thank you, sir." Placing my hand on his forearm, I gently said, "You need to book a sight test if you think I am a man." ....For some reason, it appears he took it as an affront to his masculinity that a woman would hold a door open for him. In my world, people hold doors open for others. (Edited to add: this man's sight was good enough for him to drive a car. He had a good look and me, and then chose to call me 'sir'. I'm a small woman with long hair, and I was wearing a summer dress. He chose to be rude and sexist.)

For pasta French also cut the tails. There are some dishes, where the shrimps are the main protein, and must be shown, so they are with tails served. But in paste or rice dishes, where they are mixed with other ingredients, it's cut. You suppose to can eat the dish as full, and not search for unedible pieces in every bite.

Mandatory tipping in the US restaurants is the biggest one. Pay your servers a 25-30 bucks/hour, and pay your cooks a 30-35 bucks/hour at least. No, you don't have to raise prices, because with these hourly pays, the guest will pay likely the same amount as now with 20% tip "obligatory". Your greed will just loose.

Someone Asked “What Is The Smallest Hill You’ll Die On?”, And 41 People Delivered Don't force me to download your f*****g app.

Went to Chipotle, at 6pm. They told me they weren't accepting anything but online orders. This had happened to me once during covid due to supply issues so I asked if they were low on food. They said no. I asked if they were short staffed or something. They said no. So I said "you're telling me you can't give me the food that is literally sitting in between us, by giving you this money that is literally in my hand unless I have a smart phone and make an account and type my order in?" They said that's correct. So yeah, for absolutely no reason besides wanting to sell my data probably, they're willing to lose customers.

Another time I went into a Firehouse Subs that has had open dine in for over a year since covid died down. The employees looked at me like I was crazy or trespassing when I walked in. One girl was like "hi?" I said "hi..." She said "are you here for an online pickup?" I said "no, I'd like to order and eat my food here, your dining room is open right?" She said "oh...ok.." Dining room didn't have chairs on the tables or anything, it looked normal.

Why? How did we get here as a society?

It's irritating when it comes from a source that should be aware of correct grammar and usage. Journalists, teachers, businesspeople with college degrees. You expect people like that to know the language if they make a living using it.

17points

Joe Publique 1 year ago

It depends on whether one has a prescriptive or descriptive view of grammar. Personally, I think that anything pertaining to meaning is important (e.g., possessive apostrophes, correct contractions, etc.). However, everything else is moot (e.g., not beginning a sentence with a conjunction, split infinitives, not ending a sentence with a preposition, and so on). There are also numerous contradictory sources when it comes to 'correct' grammar (e.g., Strunk, Economist, Oxford, etc.)', and there are lots of rules that differ between varieties of English too (e.g., American Vs British English). If the purpose of language is to understand and to be understood, a universal standard for the most critical aspects (such as possession, tense, and so on) is necessary, whilst the rest is down to personal style and preference.

Mine is the overuse of "there's" in English. People will say, "There's like fifty cars outside." "There's too many choices on this menu." "There's many twists and turns in the movie." No. NO. NO! NO!!! "There're like fifty cars outside. -OR- There are like fifty cars outside." [there + is = there's | there + are = there're (People will swear is incorrect to write or say because of the repeating of letters. Well, sometimes letters repeat!)] The word "is" is for singular usage while the word "are" is for plural usage, in this case (excluding the beginnings of questions and such).

It's just that in the old, prim days, people wouldn't use the term sex in case it was suggesting intercourse, so gender was just the polite term for the male/female split (which was all that was accepted) and the two were interchangeable. Sex was how we got created.

The word 'mathematics' is plural, therefore it's 'maths' and not 'math'. Also, would of, could of, should of. Just stop.

The way I was taught to remember this was, if you remove the other person, does it still make sense? For example, “she and I went to the movies” becomes “I went to the movies”. Yes, good. “Me and her went to the movies” becomes “me went to the movies”. Nope.

Something that is recurring happens over and over again, possibly at regular intervals. In contrast, something that is reoccurring is simply happening again but not always repeatedly.

One of a number of words where we use both interchangeably in Australia :) Very few people would 'correct' you because we have strong history with the British version but strong influence from the US.

Just let people talk. This excessive correction of grammar needs to stop. How can you possibly be listening to what someone is trying to say when you're picking apart their grammar in your head the whole time? Gross. I had a grandmother who did this constantly. It was obnoxious and made it pretty clear she was more interested in how I was saying things than in what I was actually trying to share with her. Maybe she felt super smart though.

Someone asking Do you mind (if I sit down, or come in, etc). People reply sure or yeah and the person comes in or sits down. The reply of yeah or sure means I DO mind please DON"T come in or sit down. The correct response is No, meaning I DO NOT mind. Get it straight people!

if I order a burger that says it has burger and bacon and cheese, I should not receive a burger with burger, bacon, cheese, tomato, onion, condiment, etc. say on the menu if there are extra toppings so I know to request something be taken off.

I have two. 1) When you're giving a speech, that thing on which you put your notes? That's a LECTERN! NOT a podium. A podium is a raised dais upon which a speaker stands. 2) When referring to a strong point using the word forte, it's pronounced /fort/, NOT /for-tay/! A /for-tay/ is a musical passage that is to be played or sung loudly.

There is simply no way that every single hospital patient forgets the name of the pain medication that they insist is "the only one that helps." Stop pretending that you don't know what it's called. If you insist upon waffling around it with statements like "I think it started with a D..." then I'm going to go right ahead and guess every other medication that "starts with a D" before I land on the name Dilaudid. Stop BS-ing and just come out with it. 🙄

Are you evil or stupid?!? If someone is in desperate pain, you help them or get into a different field of work and let a decent human being care for them!! I hope karma kicks you in the azz very hard and you realize that when one is in brutal pain, the words don't always come easily. 🤬🤬🤬
