The "I could care less" thing drives me up the wall. It means the opposite of what is intended.

[@misterkite]

Auto-antonyms are an entire category of words. "I could care less" is sarcastic.

[@davedagreat69]

@@misterkite "I could care less" is neither an auto-antonym nor sarcastic. It's just the incorrect use of the words.

[@misterkite]

@@davedagreat69 I guess because no one ever uses it to mean they do care, it's not an auto antonym. Instead it's like flammable and inflammable... its meaning is clear and consistent, and it becomes just like any other idiom. Only take it literally if you want to be purposefully obtuse.

[@davedagreat69]

@@misterkite This is the sad truth I've come to realise. Language is not shaped by the great minds of our time, it's shaped by the morons who fail to learn how to use it properly, because they are more plentiful. That's why, in the future in the UK, words like better and forty will be pronounced without the hard "t" sound. They will be pronounced Be'er and for'y, because people who can't speak very well pronounce them that way. It's a living language, and it moves at the pace of the slowest people, who seem to get on TV a lot somehow. :D

[@Right_Said_Brett]

@@misterkite "flammable and inflammable" It really bothers me when people get these two mixed up. The phrase is 'God is inflammable". Get it right, people!

David Mitchell is the type of person that the more you get on board with how he is and his humour, the funnier he is....in recent years he has grown on me massively!!

[@jaynadiah5498]

[@LuckyDucky917]

I don't think David Mitchell is always laugh out loud funny, sometimes he can be smart funny - if that makes sense. I never liked Mitchell and Webb or Peep Show but I like him on his own in stuff.

[@AngryJT]

[@mrtrickay7111]

The worse is the when Americans say "addicting" the verb instead of "addictive" adjective.

[@HeartHandmade]

The absolute worst is their past tense for the word “drag”. They say “drug”

[@batintheattic7293]

Worst! Oh, Mr. Trickie, what a faux pas! If something is 'worse' that still leaves room for something else to be 'worse' than it.

[@perpetualidiocy6622]

no the worst has got to be burglarised instead of burgled. well, i suppose that's 'burglarized' lol.

[@rescyn1190]

Worse than 'funnest'?

[@PyrusFlameborn]

Would't "addicting" technically mean "to addict"? Which makes no sense because "to addict" does not exist as a verb afaik

[@sonny2593]

Americans saying "go ahead and..." kills me. My mate was in america and took driving lessons. The instructor told him to "go ahead and reverse". I also watched an instructional video once, and every step was along the lines of "then go ahead and do this, and once that's done, go ahead and do this, then we're gonna go ahead and join those two". Did my head in. Feel better after this rant though.

[@CMDRRustyDog]

That is also my big pet hate !! Oh jeez. Every US video I watch where someone is showing you something, it's always 'go ahead and'. Totally redundant. You can remove those words and the sentence would mean exactly the same. Today, I actually heard someone say "I'm gonna go ahead and stop now". Imagine that !!?

[@adamellis6785]

"Turn left right here"

[@Ozzpot]

My former boss was American. Every sentence began "Go ahead and..." "Go ahead and send me the files" "Go ahead and show me some mockups" "Go ahead and meet with the client" "Go ahead and take a break" One of my favourite KZbinrs, an American, does the same with "Feel free to..." "Feel free to subscribe" "Feel free to check out my other videos" "Feel free to sign up to my Patreon" 🤔😂

@MoCo Purpose has a basis (base - something to build off/reason) so that's why you say "ON purpose". Accidents aren't intentional as it happens by proxy of something, therefore you say "BY accident". Of course, that is just my theory - a Blit-X- theory! Thanks for reading.

[@maddoctor99]

The first time a British person hears someone from North America using the phrase “out of pocket” to describe how someone is unavailable, rather than referring to how the speaker lost money on something... “Josh can’t help with the project today - he’s out of pocket” Vs “I had to pay for the tickets to the show but it got cancelled without a refund so now I’m £50 out of pocket”

[@Songfugel]

"Funniest" thing is when Americans try to correct British English speakers on the correct spelling or pronunciation xD

[@gpr127]

The worst thing is British actors pandering to US directors by speaking US English even when playing English characters.

[@LuckyDucky917]

@@gpr127 I once read a US print of Harry Potter and couldn't get passed the first few chapters. They kept referring to Lily as Harry's Mom. And why? American kids aren't stupid, they - like other kids - have a better ability to infer meaning from context than adults do and if they're unable to work it out, they'll ask and then they'll know. So annoying!

[@gpr127]

@@LuckyDucky917 - Yes. They also missed out on the wonderful audio books read by Stephen Fry as well because they got Jim Dale to record alternative versions using the Americanisms instead. They really do not give their own people the credit of being able to work out the slight cultural differences. I mean, substituting 'trash can' for 'dustbin' is one of the most pathetic, but your example of using 'Mom' instead of 'Mum' is absurd.

[@gpr127]

@@LuckyDucky917 - not to labour the point, but look at all the UK TV shows the US companies feel it necessary to remake despite the initial success of the original versions in America. The list is endless, and invariably the translation dilutes the original's appeal and fails. "Coupling', 'Red Dwarf', 'Fawlty Towers', 'Life On Mars' and now also 'Utopia' are the immediate examples I can think of that needed no 'extra' treatment from others. The rare success like 'The Office' unfortunately only serves to encourage them - but look at how long that lumbered on, beyond its shelf life.

[@LuckyDucky917]

@@gpr127 I actually preferred the US version of the office but you're right. In general, US remakes are generally pretty poor. I dont even really understand why they do it?

[@thedarkness111]

David mitchell's new soap box 'please don't call me david michael'. ;)

[@RG-Zeldaplayer]

As you can see this was written in part by the comedian John Finnemore. He often writes for TV but doesn't often take the starring role. On radio however John Finnemore is absolutely one of the funniest comedians currently writing in the UK. If you don't mind reacting to audio only, I'd suggest listening to his show "John Finnemore's souvenir program." - a few of his sketches have also been animated and put on youtube... so they might be worth checking out. He also wrote the radio sitcom Cabin Pressure which starred Dr. Strange himself Benedict Cumberbatch.

[@steevenfrost]

Wonderful rant! What about " I don't know nothin'". what I mean, personally, is that I do know something but that the person saying "I don't know nothing means they do know something. If you're not confused by my explanation, well done!

[@teddyvision7563]

OMG hes spot on!!!

[@matthill3293]

I've been waiting literally a decade to see an American watch this on KZbin! xD

[@wobaguk]

The one Im hearing all the time now to the extent that Im beginning to doubt myself is the use of 'bring' instead of 'take'. Someone says 'I always bring a good book on a flight', is a fine saying if you are ON the flight at the time. If you are at home, its "I always take a good book on a flight". Surely you 'bring' something 'here', and you 'take' something 'there'. Saying you 'bring something there' sounds like a lesser version of 'can you borrow me a fiver' or 'can you learn me how to do that', the direction is specific to the verb.

[@mrpuniverse2]

The one that bugs me is twelve items or less. No its fewer if its double figures its twelve items or fewer singular its five items or less or nine items or less this has always bugged me. And the poor use of apostrophes and the misuse of your and you're I could go on but i couldn't care less

[@anonymoususer2756]

The one that I’ve started to see more and more over the past couple of years is people saying that they “like X thing _better_ than Y thing” or they “like X thing the best”. That shit makes absolutely zero fucking sense and yet I see it everywhere.

[@PyrusFlameborn]

@@mrpuniverse2 as someone who is not natively any kind of English speaking, why does the word change depending on the height of the number?

[@mrpuniverse2]

@@PyrusFlameborn Rules in English are broken all the time but in this example a single number is a lesser number and the rule implies that less than should be used for numbers of a single digit. English is not logical but math is so I gather that is the reason for this particular rule but I''m not certain of that but it is my summation

[@Postghost]

You know there's a lot of difficulty people needlessly endure because of the results of basic miscommunications.

[@carlena4300]

British English has a lot of u's in words like honour, colour, flavour, favourite and humour. The American lexicographer Noah Webster sought to simplify the English language in the 1800's gaining enough influence to change the spelling of certain words. This was helped along by the anti British sentiment after the American revolution. He also influenced the simplification of words like theatre, plough and centre. His efforts took hold resulting in the split between British and American English that we see today in spelling and pronunciation as touched on by David Mitchell.

[@Avram42]

He points out something that I doubt many British people are even aware of: Herb had it's etymological origin in French... spelled "erb". So even as a native english (US) speaker I will die saying "erb" as it is the most accurate to the etymology of the word. I believe the addition of the H "aitch" was specifically to spite France because they hated each other and were unwilling to admit a word that had uses.
