hmmm. the incorrect spelling and pronunciation of 'definitely' as 'definately'. Particularly a Scottish thing, whereby they even emphasise the incorrect 'a' (eg, Ally McCoist does this). Silly yes I know.

That is like dreadful.
this is fantastic that you sat counting 'likes' throughout a bus journey... Though I am concerned only the ones from annoyance onwards, Sorry I'm late

When eating out, at a restaurant you filthy beasts, why are staff so overly attentive at the start but by the end you're waiting to flag them down to pay?
