    I always assumed that when the word "aggrivated" preceded a criminal charge that it meant the person pissed you off so much that you committed the crime. For example, Aggrivated Assault. Turns out it means that a weapon was used.:o

    I always assumed the words 'three' and 'tree' were pronounced the same. It seems I was wrong.

    I would be pissed off nonetheless if someone used a weapon to assault me.:confused:

    Ah, you know what i mean. I thought it was a case that someone was just winding you up to the point that you give them a slap and then your done for aggrivated assault. :)

    I don't think there's anything wrong with that, haitch is accepted. It's a regional thing really..

    Americans say aitch I think..and in the UK too
