minor things that make you fume

That's daft.

Any need?
I've seen the @ thing only once and it made me cringe.

It can be troublesome when you're writing an email to a group, then you want to place an action on a particular sentence. Usually, I will write.

Groucho,

This bit relates to you personally, that's why your name is in bold.

Thanks

Ah I see.

Yeah that'd be annoying.
 
Footballer name pronunciations that our commentators make up to avoid saying their real name because they think it sounds silly. The most recent one is N'Golo "KONT-EH" rather than Kante (Kant-eh), since they found out at the Euros that he plays for France they'll go out of their way to make his name sound more French. Isn't he African anyway, from Senegal or somewhere?

Another serial offender is "ON-tony" Martial. It's Anthony. His name is Anthony.
 
I see. I'll bet you say "Boo-nez" for "Belenenses" in a put-on attempt at a Porchugay-zee accent as well, dontcha?

Come round here & say 'horizonch' or 'boo-nez' , and I kicky your head in. :whip::px
It's a minefield, for sure. You'll never, ever find me saying 'Barthelona', but then we went to Ciutadella in Menorca recently, which we were informed by a barman was pronounced 'theo-ta-daya', after which it felt wrong not to follow suit.

Should an Englishman give it the full roll of the tongue when saying Llandudno?
