Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.

Nobody gets that right, but isn't that like literally the only place where the verb case changes for the subjunctive in English? I can forgive people for ****ing it up.

what if it was were?

North of Jupiter Florida alot of people say "Acrossed"

as in...

"He used to live acrossed the street from the strip club"

Guys at Super Bowl parties who laugh at the commercials

Tony Romo telling us how the players feel before the Super Bowl...

Yep. How in hell would he know? I guess because someone who actually played in one told him how they felt?

"I wish ... were" also.

Tony Romo's half life trajectory as announcer seems to have gotten much closer to zero than I would have projected.

He's under contract until 2030 or 2031.

is that anywhere close to kitty corner?
because that kitty is a bitch and you don't wanna be anywhere near her litter box

You mean letter box.

That's because it's catty corner there.

The UK has dozens of different and recognisable accents as well as many separate and distinct dialects

I remember many years ago while at college, watching some morning chat show while hungover. There was a guy in the studio who was taking calls from viewers where we could accurately predict both where they originated from and where they lived to within 10 miles

I always get a kick out of hearing non-rhotic speakers pronounce "lawyer" or "drawer", esp with the next word leading with a vowel.

IRT UK accents the Beatles' was quite cool IMO. It seems Liverpool has moved on to non-rhotic, and the closest anybody speaks that way now is from N Ire (Rory McIlroy seems a decent example).

Northern Irish and Scouse (Liverpool) are totally different.

Beatles accent was far less accentuated than current Scouse accent because fashion/trends were far more towards getting everyone to ‘Queen’s English’ than today.

Doesn't McIlroy sound more like Paul at 21 than a typical Liverpudlian today?

When take-out is waiting for me upon arrival.

Rory sounds mainly American these days. He hardly has an Ulster accent apart from a few twangs. It would be almost impossible to non Brits to understand anything a Scouser says
