Topic: what's too hot?

[sp]

Always tried my very hardest not to adopt the American language.   
(skedule  )

Skedule I can live with.  But "awesome", "leverage" (with short "e", as a verb), "wanna", "gonna", "I was like ... and she was like ...",-- these make me vomit !  Oh dear, thread de-railed again ...

Is it just me or do other people hate the relatively new use of the words "liking" and "loving" as in "i'm loving this..." or "i'm liking that..."

McDonalds started it with their idiotic tagline at the end of their TV adverts; caught Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 saying it yesterday - "i'm loving this new track by... Steve Wright is loving it too" - it really boils my urine!

Personally, I'm not sure what drives me. There is some pleasure obtained from the heat and the senses it creates. I had a vindaloo last night which isn't a dish I order very often, but I figured I wanted to see how other restaurants made their vindaloo and whether there would be a noticeable smell/taste of vinegar, which I am not a huge fan of. I noticed some hiccuping upon starting to eat the dish, which is something I saw mentioned on here with regards to heavy heat curries but never noticed happening to me in the past and I was mostly happy with the food I had. Heat level was just spot-on. But I got to be honest, since reading CH's phall recipe that I feel like giving it a try.

I don't like them ("I'm not liking them" !) but far worse (IMHO) is "at the top of the show".  What on earth is wrong with "at the beginning of the show" ?  And am I alone in noticing an ever-increasing number of native speakers of American English broadcasting on Radio 4 ?  I have this awful feeling there is some covert plot to emphaise the "special relationship" between "them" and "us", to the detriment of the very real special relationship that we have, both geographically and historically, with continental Europe.

Thread now completely de-railed; what a shame there is no "fork and move" option available to George.

Back on topic  . If you don't enjoy it because of the heat then it IS too hot. Simples. ( or is that one of those hated expressions too?  ) not sure what the issue is here  We are all different and we all have our own preferences. If it floats your boat then go sailing.

Simples. ( or is that one of those hated expressions too?  )

The final "s" (which seems only to have started occurring recently) is the only thing that jars with me :  "simple" has always been an acceptable one-word sentence in this context, at least as far back as I remember.  Oh yes, and the worse of all :  "my bad".  "My bad" WHAT ??.  "Bad" is an adjective, not a noun.  Sorry, must learn to stay on-topic.  Just off to cook my long-awaited lamb rogan josh :  report later, maybe.
