Words that make you cross


Recommended Posts

Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms Kincardine   I'm happy to be picked up on grammar and/or diction when appropriate - but this from the guy who uses "rangers" as his team of choice where it should be "the rangers international ltd" seeing his former love died a deserved death due to industrial sized financial cheating.  At least be consistent.  Calling me a tosser for using a particular word (via quote) yet living the hear no evil, see . . . . .  existence using a word that no longer exists - equitosser under the circumstances.

Ouster.

It is apparently a grammatically correct way to describe the ousting of someone from power, as in "The ouster of Mohamed Morsi in 2012 by General Sisi" but looks so wrong.

Bound to get confused with "oyster".

Expect to see "The world is my ouster" on facebook soon.
