I done instead of I didn't, big pet hate. have you noticed most people from QLD say AY at the end of every sentence.


Also I hate it when people end a question with "or" EG Do you want to come here "or". GRRRRR

It is grammatically correct to say I’ve done or I have done whatever task; I think you probably meant to say ...People who say I DONE THAT instead of I DID THAT.


 


Born in Queensland and I have yet to hear anyone say AY at the end of every sentence. Which part of Queensland are you speaking about?


 


My ‘pet hate is people who combine “thank you” into “thankyou”, always was and always will be two separate words!

Perhaps it is the Kiwi's living in QLD that you hear saying eh (Ay) at the end of every sentence.:-p


 


 


Ending a sentence with 'but' is weird too.

Yes you are right , that is what I meant, we have had up to 30 workmen staying here and 90% from QLD, every single one of then say AY or EY which ever way it is spelt at the end of every sentence IE it's a great day EH !!!! EH what ? I think it is amusing.
