Off Topic / Re: I hate the word "got."
« on: April 26, 2009, 09:02:24 PM »This is a nation-wide thing, and is quite standard. Sometimes it's the only grammatical solution to a sentence, but the way most people use it drives me insane. It's still technically correct in these situations (sometimes), but it's quite annoying. Here are some examples with suggested corrections:
I've got (I have got) a bad feeling. (I have a bad feeling)
He's got (he has got) a lot of them. (He has a lot of them)
I('ve) got this, [let me handle it]. (I have this)
It's got (It has got) a problem. (It has a problem)
Ghrgghag...
