Nothing wrong with saying 'My Bad'. Doesn't make the person thick for saying it or mean that they've got a poor understanding of the English language.

Some people fail to move with the times, languages evolve. Deal with it!

Those that think that those that complain are being pedantic, remember one thing, the complainers are more likely to ones that are employing the likes of you!

Should be owing to or because of.

Correct use of the word is due to arrive or due to to depart.

That word causes me problems here.

I naturally pronounce 'Due' as 'Jew'

When I asked the pregnant jewish lady at work when she was due (jew) it caused a little confusion...

I'm working on calling it 'do' though.

The youth are efficient.

"The youth" is singular, therefore "The youth is efficient" would be gramatically correct.

This is rather jolly good fun!

Very good grammar Colin but poor spelling of gramatically.

I think you will find that he has spelt gramatically correctly. However, he has most amusingly misspelt the word grammatically. How jolly. How droll.

I'd rather be on Job Seekers Allowance than employed by the likes of Jim, Bryan or Al... :blink:

'My bad' is a saying that used to really annoy me and still does. However when I lived in America to go to university and being surrounded by students who would say this a lot. As a result, to my absolute shame, I found myself saying it and still do now from time to time.

Another saying that really annoys me and is when people say 'LOL' in a sentence. Awful.

The mangling of the language in social media/text constrained mobile space is not unique to English or the UK. The proprietor of a restaurant in Malta wrote this of her young team:

Last night I had a chance to see what language my staff communicate in via FB and SMS. It is not Maltese, it is not English and it is not, in any way, a language. But at the same time, it is. It took me a while to figure out a couple of sentences :)

I think you mean 'Youth is efficient' or 'Youths are efficient'.

Youth is singular.

Dictionary Definition "Due to - atrributable to or caused by". Too clever this time Jim.

Tru dat.

See the reply to Jim.

You would be if you applied to work for me! :D
