[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 244600, member: 33"] Yes, I completely agree with you, in fact I've raised this point before on this forum. I shudder every time it's used in this way. I used to hear it a lot when young people talk but now it seems to have crept into the speech of people of my generation (Generation X). Really annoying. This is what I previously said on the subject. My current pet hate in speech is "being across" a subject meaning to fully understand an issue or being aware of all the facts. It may well be correct English but I never previously heard it and nowadays I hear with with annoying regularity. [/QUOTE]
