What bothers me the most is peole who say I have an accent. I don't. You're all retarded. Also, I don't mumble.
And my wife says this constantly; "they're GIVING that show I like on TV" or "GIVING" a song on the radio. No, they're playing those, or showing them.

He's trying to remember what he is is supposed to say next.
It's either that, or he has to wait for the prompter to catch up.

Young people (college age) sometimes get me... you can hardly understand them, everything is said in a monolithic cadence and words are run together. Especially if they are repeating some information, like a waiter/waitress at a restaurant giving you the specials..

HUH?? I swear, I have had to not only make them repeat themselves, but make them repeat themselves a second time, after telling them to slow it down and put pauses between the words so I can understand what the hell you're saying to me!
My other pet peeve is people who use "then" instead of "than" ...and we have a few here who do that.
The British "Cockney" accent is most annoying to some, but I have always found it amusingly funny.

Cockney is certainly amusing, I have a couple of cockney friends at present. One is a supporter of 'Wess tairm' foo'bor' team. But worse by far is the american 'kichen' language.
'Rrrbs' for flavour. Well, a liddle 'bay-cil', some 'Taam' (Tom?). I'll wager more housebricks have penetrated more television sets as a result of some american cooking show than anything else that is not bush.
