Re: language pet hates

Agh, two more:

"If I would have gone, I would have seen it."

"My sister and I's room."

That last one, I hear it more and more and it makes me want to weep.

Re: language pet hates

[inkdust]

Though the first one can still be worse: "If I would of gone."

Re: language pet hates

I HATE when "I" is used in place of "me" like that. It's all over TV and songs so everyone thinks it's correct... I cry every time.

Re: language pet hates

[inkdust]

The thing is, that use isn't even in place of "me." Over-correction leads to "My mom loves my sister and I." That happens. But that "I" up there is replacing "MY." That's not even remotely correct.

Re: language pet hates

[diet_poison]

I had an argument with someone in a comments section in a chat room about that last one...in involved basic misunderstanding about what was the subject of a question. I think it was someone asking someone something (starting with "are you...?" or something like that), and I asked "me or him?" because I wasn't sure who they were addressing...and we spent five minutes arguing about whether I was correct or not.

Re: language pet hates

[inkdust]

That's almost worse than someone just saying it wrong.

Re: language pet hates

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, what's wrong with the first?

Re: language pet hates

[inkdust]

The conditional phrasing should only be in the second part of the sentence (the part that's conditional on the first part): "If I had gone, I would have seen it." People have taken to doubling the conditional, which just basically makes nonsense.

Thank goodness I'm not alone in that particular pet hate. It felt as though I were the only one who could see people fucking up the conditional tense all over the damned place.
