I have the reverse problem — when I'm looking for a flat, estate agents REFUSE to email me and INSIST on calling leaving voicemails describing flats that I can't look at pictures of, can't see on a map and can't add to my list of options. I don't get reception on my phone at work or at home or on the tube, so I can…

I reply that way, too. I don't get reception at work, in my flat or on the train — the only place I can listen to voicemails is standing out in the street. I can see the person called, but I have no idea why.

I absolutely think it inconsiderate, and I'm 32 — I don't want to take up people's time like that.

Fascinating! I'm going to look into this.

That's such an excellent idea. I tried to teach myself when I was a kid, but I bet I could get good at it if I worked hard at it nowadays. (Plus I'm in England so we wouldn't be competing!)

I just got a response from an applicant I rejected specifically because he made too many mistakes in the test, and the response included the line "The word 'error' is not in my vocabularly, I assure you." Bizarre.

I hate that one and also "X became a father/mother again," which implies the parent somehow became not a parent before the second kid.

I was hoping Gilly would kill Slynt just because I grow weary of her and want her to do something.

Up until last night I much preferred Ron Snow from Talk of Thrones. But yep, last night he was almost not annoying at all.

Despite being a person who has read all the books and watched all the episodes, I had a moment of complete stupidity and went "You know what? I just really don't want HIM to die"… and as soon as I said "die" he got an arrow through the fucking throat.

"Settle your fucking preemptive chops" is my new go-to email-ending phrase. Thank you.

I just saw her playing Tamora, Queen of the Goths, at the Globe. (Died.)

Yeah, that old-style NOLA accent is really great!

I was the only person in my visiting-from-California party who could understand several cab drivers we met in New Orleans. There was some brilliant non-rhotic-ness going on down there!

I can't tell the difference between these two at all — off to Google a sound file!

This one makes me crazy, and for some reason is filed in my brain alongside "forehead" being pronounced as "for-head" instead of "forr'd".

Surely it's jew-ell-er-y said fast so it with the middle two syllables swallowed that it's almost joolree?

I hate, hate, hate lie-berry, but am totally fine with my own two-syllable "lie-bree". So hypocritical.

Those are totally the same for me! I like this game.

One of my teachers! She didn't grow up in an English-speaking country, and the mishearing makes so much sense. I love that one
