That sort of pretentiousness goes way beyond anything that should be acceptable.7 -

Wank terminology Buckshee. It's everywhere. At the moment I get particularly wound up by going on LinkedIn and having to see all these companies refer to their places of work as 'campuses' - honestly fuck offbuckshee said:The term drop as in "our new album drops tomorrow" or "the new Adidas collection drops on Friday"
It never ceases to amaze me how vomit inducing we can go with this shit. It's gradually been seeping in over a number of years, coffee shops where you can't go in and ask for a white coffee, it's a flat white, adverts for kitchens where you get your own 'project manager', and now your place of work needs to be a campus where you collaborate and foster a culture of 'intrapreneurship'
Unfortunately for me, the world seems to be going one way, and I'm very firmly going the other, in that it all just seems to wind me up, and it's everywhere. You can't hide from it or take a breather

So true. I was in a BP garage (note a BP garage in sussex not a coffee house in an exclusive part of Rome) and I said "A large white coffee please".cabbles said:

The look of utter shock and bemusement he gave me at this obviously alien, unintelligible request it was if I'd asked to bum him over the sweet shelves before burning his house down with his mum in it.

I'm removing the flag here. I appreciate some of you may like coleslaw but I don't see why dave should be flagged over having a pop at it. It doesn't have any feelings and won't take offenceDaveMehmet said:

Coleslaw and slaw are one and the same in the states. Thankfully I've never heard someone refer to coleslaw as slaw over here.
People who send something like a 10meg email about something ambiguous amd just stick 'FYI' in the body. Dafuq am I meant to do with that? Does it apply to me or not? Do I NEED to read it or is it something I should file away I'm case someone ask's me a question about said ambiguous document?

Erb is the correct way to say it. It comes from latin via french. It's only Victorian grammarians who were seeking ways to make themselves sound important that introduced the false 'h'. It should always be dropped.
The really annoying thing about aitch is the number of people who say 'haitch'. I work in HR and it's amazing how many people call it Haitch-Arr. Frankly none of them are employable.4 -
I've worked in large corporations all my life so you get accustomed to "corporate wank", and some phrases become so normal that it takes your wife calling you a twat and laughing at you to realise that you have taken it home with you - however, even I draw the line somewhere. A good friend at a company that I used to work for was Global Capability Director (that, to me, is quite a normal title). The other week he sent me an email and he is now "Global Head of Faculty".cabbles said:

So basically no one in the U.K. has said Erb in about 4 lifetimes. If you say herb no one will notice but if you say erb people will either think you are American or something worse.Stig said:Super_Eddie_Youds said:

Let's be clear, it's herb, coleslaw, squirrel, mirror, basil and charl'un. Language doesn't evolve and is firmly rooted in mid 1970's sart London (innit).charltonkeston said:

The 'haitch' thing drives me nuts though. Especially that it goes unchallenged. How did this ever become acceptable?1 -

Job titles,
Craftsmen that are not craftsman
Technicians that are not technicians
Engineers that are not engineers
Associates that are not associates
Partners that are not partners
Professionals that are not professionals.
When I left school you had to work towards and get qualifications to get called any of the above.
