Your spelling offends me

I can't say cenotaph. I have to avoid saying it I'm case it's wrong.

I see this one a lot nowadays too: Physical Fight. If I say or hear people are fighting, I assume it's physical. If it's verbal, to me it's just an argument.

I feel the same when people say they’re sick but they mean unwell without vomit.

I can say in the US, few use unwell. If there's vomiting they just say that or threw up/hurl, etc.

i think that's an American thing. I'm in the UK and used to be confused because to me, "I feel sick" or whatever meant nausea - not a general feeling of unwell. I always used poorly or ill to describe being unwell but without vomiting, butin the US, "sick" seems interchangeable with ill/unwell/poorly and is used to describe any form of illness.

“Sick to my stomach” is the generally used US phrase to indicate nausea/vomiting.

"Stomach flu"

 

[TapToBoreMeRigid]

"A flu" in the singular is always odd to me instead of the flu.

In reference to sick meaning nausea, to me it doesn't only mean that. We ring in sick at work for which we provide a sick note and if we're off too much we have sickness monitoring. I've always used it similarly to poorly or unwell

 

[sheleg]

I can’t bear “sick to my stomach”.

I also hate “horseback riding”. What else would you be riding on? The horse’s head??

Yeah I agree. People go off sick not off ill at work and get statutory sick pay

People writing ' argh' when they mean 'ahh' , example 'argh ,so cute'

My friend sent me a Whatsapp message about perfume and instead of saying "I'm going to macerate it for a few weeks" she said "I'm going to masturbate it for a few weeks."
