    I'm sure this has already been mentioned here ,perhaps more than once, but everyone seems to be 'going on a journey' chiefly when they are being interviewed about a dramatic experience they've had.
    It drives me to distraction. 
    I hope phrases are allowed, by the way- if not, I shall wipe the tears from my eyes and sniff very loudly, cos I wouldn't dream of using a hanky or tissue.

    Not harsh at all @janetfoss.

    The use of texting abbreviations in everyday speech.  I don't know what they mean and my interpretations would be unprintable!

    I wish they'd use text speak on subtitles, though. Then they wouldn't get so far behind the speaker.
