Things that piss me off, Issue 9

Companies who use annoying spelling for eye-catching purposes. The ubiquitous "Kwik-Save" supermarket chain, the tyre specialists "Kwik-Fit", the pub franchise "Brewer's Fayre", and countless others are guilty of this beyond-heinous linguistic tomfoolery. On what basis do they believe it will entice us to use their services rather than a competitor's? Personally, I prefer to buy my tyres, pub meals and frozen peas from intelligent people who know how to use a spell-checker. "Phones-4-U", for fuck's sake. Perhaps they should invest in a dictionary, instead of in those equally annoying TV adverts with the bizarre hand-movements which look like the bloke is having an attack of St. Vitus' Dance or attempting the Freemason's Salute.

And while I'm at it, what's with using the word "fayre" to advertise food? It's an archaic spelling of "fair", meaning "public gathering for entertainment and display of goods", not of "fare", meaning "things to eat". And yet we see innumerable pubs proudly displaying their ignorance on roadside chalkboards with such advertising gems as "Holesome Country Fayre" [sic]. People who use this device are obviously trying to shoehorn an old-fashioned affectation into use in an attempt to associate their produce with the (w)holesome values of yesteryear. Never mind the fact that the sort of food that would actually have been served in pubs when the word "fayre" was in use (for fairs, idiots) would, most likely, have been infested with several interesting species of weevil. Hey, extra protein.
