Tap instead of click.
App instead of program.
Fewer instead of less (even though more has no equivalent).
Slowed up instead of slowed down (slow is less speed, so must be
down).
People who write computer programs that say "hello world" and nothing
else - clearly that program doesn't have the intelligence to say
hello.
Bothering to distinguish between burned and burnt.
Forward instead of forwards.

Listen up and park up instead of listen and park

Visitation instead of visit.

That damned yankee phrase I cant think of for the moment.

Cayn't get theyah from heeyah.


Nar, not that one. Said when telling someone to do something
immediately. Still cant think of it but that's just my dyslexia.


Post haste?


Nar, not that one.

Yeah, I could guess forever almost and still never hit the right one.


The one I am thinking of is very commonly used.

You buggers will get me watching my recorded First 48 to find it if you don't
watch out.
