I see this creeping in to use recently.
'I've not done...' or 'I've not had'...

This isn't fcuking Coronation Street. This is Ireland.

We say have not, or haven't.

Ye Plastic Paddy bashterds.

Language evolves. Get over yourself

Fack off.

Sounds like you've not had your morning coffee yet. Come to think of it, I've not had mine either.

Birneybau · 07-10-2017 09:45AM

I've not had this thought, ever.

I've not seen a thread this poor in ages

You not had your snickers yet?

evolving_doors · 07-10-2017 09:50AM

FYP op

Feicim go bhfuil sé seo in úsáid le déanaí. 'Níl mé déanta ...' nó 'ní raibh mé' ...

Ní hé seo an Coronation Street. Is é seo Éire.

Deirimid nach bhfuil, nó nach bhfuil.

Plaisteacha Paddy bashterds atá sibh.

Did you mean to say you hear it creeping in lately?

This isn't fcuking synesthesia. This is Ireland.

We don't see words, we hear them.

And if you're only measure of popular vernacular is After Hours contributors then I suggest you open your front door and, wait for it.... go outside.

OMG....like.

If I ever hear "I was stood" or "I was sat", I will be going on a murderous rampage

Someone more energetic than me please explain to this guy what the apostrophe in "I've" stands for.

"Never trust man what got fruit in van."

When he hit the floor, I was sat there.

Translate: I was sitting down when the man fell on the ground.

Except the translation is rather flat by comparison. In the original, you get a sense of shock. The man hitting the floor is what drives the sentence. In the translation the sentence begins with you sitting down, which is uninteresting, and it has the man falling on the floor, instead of hitting it, which is less dramatic.

I realise how anal I'm being but there's a reason why many great authors have tried and failed to write 'everyday' dialogue.

Even if it be "I was stood....down from military service after the war" or "I was sat....on by a concrete elephant. It was wuite painful"

Tom Mann Centuria · 07-10-2017 10:13AM

So, nothing is as bad as starting sentences with an unnecessary "so".

So, like this.

So, now I'm off to the shops.

First against the wall.
You too, pal.

SmartinMartin · 07-10-2017 10:15AM

What I utterly detest is "I'm loving this" or "I'm liking that". What the hell happened to "I love" and"I like"?
And while I'm at it, speaking of past events in the present tense should be a Capital Offence.

I agree with you let the other shytes get over themselves!

Joking aside, sounds brutal imo. Good friend of mine has returned from the UK after a few years over there . He's at it all the time.

I think it's all the guys returning from UK.

They all say craic now too so it works both ways
