Where should I start?

Wanna and wannabe's...

I'm good - instead of I'm fine/well

I'm cool (dress up warmer!)

AWESOME (makes me feel like I want to throw up!)

One that really gets me irritated is the way the BBC presenter Ben Fogle (rather lovely chap) can't pronounce "THE".

It should be pronounced "THEE" in front of a vowel and he always says "THE" as in the book....his parents should sue his Public School
