Question

Does it annoy you when people say innit and yeah at the end of every sentence?

Answer 1

Yes it is like when you ask a Question and they keep saying "You know" I feel like saying No I bloody dont thats why i am asking

Answer 2

I know, it does my head in.  I hate it the most when people say "innit" after telling you something that you didn't know.  I work in a shop, and this guy was looking at earrings for his girlfriend or something, and he said "I'll come back for them tomorrow, 'cause i haven't got any money, innit!"- like i knew he was broke!! arrghh!

Answer 3

When I was a youth the annoying thing was to use "y'see" at the beginning OR the end of a sentence. This was superseded by "y'know..", so I'm used to such things.

I have to admit that "innit" is probably the most annoying of the modern ones.

The worst speech characteristic of all to have to listen to is the glottal stop, e.g "compu'a" instead of "computer". I can't believe that it's a natural accent, it's just being lazy.

That's as bad as people who can't be bothered to learn spelling (or worse, don't use the site's spell checker).

Answer 4

yeah it is innit

Answer 5

innit tho

Answer 6

Yes. It reflects the use of improper English, dunnit?

Answer 7

Don't mind if people say yeah, because they are looking for re-assurance that you are listening to them.

But.. innit.. it annoys me so muuuch!

STFU CHAV

=] x

Answer 8

It was like a cool thing to say when we were younger (I'm 18 now), but I was one of the nerdy kids (still am :)) so I used to correct everyone.  Innit dough!

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

it doesn't annoy me so much as amuse me ... they think they're being so hip and so cool but they just sound silly and unintelligent

Answer 11

Sometimes it does... I find myself saying Innit at the end of some sentences now and I'm not even English, I'm Australian (innit!)!

Answer 12

Yes and Yep and Nope,,,

Answer 13

I say 'at the end of the day' quite abit but I don't see that as slang.

I hate it when people say 'init' or other ridiculous slang terms.

Answer 14

Did you ask this question in todays sun newspaper aswell?

Answer 15

Not really.  The worst annoying is a mate of mine who uses the word BUT in capital letters so as to avoid stopping speaking and continue his waffle about this or that.  "and you know, BUT, them as what ain't not doing nuffink, innit, I ain't bovvered, yeah!

English is an entirely democratic language and people should feel free to use it as they wish, however c**p they make it sound.

How to speak Chav English - I ain't bovvered.

Answer 16

'Innit', not so much. 'Yeah' winds me up.

But what really annoys me is people saying 'yeah' or 'no' at the end of questions. 'Do you know where this is no?'

I've only ever tried once to tell them they'd just answered their own question and the blank look I got...I genuinely think he'd no idea what I meant. Beats me...

Answer 17

Yes, until I remember they are of limited intelligence and are unable to speak properly, then I just ignore it.
