I am a language professional. We tend to believe firmly in descriptivism. Language is fluid and you can do whatever you want with it. There is no right or wrong. Nothing really upsets me except for when people say ‘an historical X’ or ‘an horrific X’ but even then it just makes me scrunch my nose up.
But there is one thing that I cannot accept. One thing that makes stop what I’m doing and just want to scream in disgust ‘WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU CLOWN??’
And it’s when Americans refer to pasta as ‘noodles’
Especially if they call it a ‘lasagne noodle’
Tuna fish
Americans saying fucking Tuna fish
As opposed to what? Tuna bird? Tuna insect?
Fuck that
In japan, it’s sometimes referred to as ‘sea chicken’
We should all just adopt that instead
I mean we have bin chickens, and certain watery places in Melbourne basically are bins it’s the logical next step
Bin chicken is slang for ibis.

It irks me when people say ‘aks’ instead of ask. I know it shouldn’t, because maybe that’s just what they heard growing up or have trouble pronouncing ask, but gee it makes my eye twitch when I hear it.

I hate when they say tuna fish. The fish part is unnecessary. Barramundi fish, snapper fish, trout fish. See it just sounds stupid.
