Awkward Things People Say/Do

[Kosheh]

- When people talk like video game localization. "Quite" doesn't fit into our modern langauge. We don't use it anymore as a word of emphasis and it comes off as a lack of confidence in one's words. Stop using quite. Quite's never gonna happen. Also phrases like "That's the ticket!" that like literally do not come up in our modern vernacular. Like...where was the last time you saw that phrase? Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon?

I'm sorry, but I don't really agree with this... My dad says "That's the ticket", and I often respond to certain things with "quite"...  For example, if somebody says "It's rather hot today", I might respond with "Quite". I think you're just working this around things that you yourself might not say, or perhaps it's even a local thing for you. But I know in the UK at least, many people will use the word quite.

...oh
Yeah, pretty much. In the States, the only place where "That's the ticket!" is fitting is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Though, this is kinda making me wonder if video games are all localized in the UK now. A few developers here tend seem to do that lately, actually given our release of Ace Attorney vs. Professor Layton referred to flashlights as "torches" (with no explanation as to why it's called that. In the States 9 out of 10 people wouldn't know about 'torches' used in that way) and many of the words used contained the English usage of them: "neighbour", "colour", etc. :V

There's also a few teenagers in the States who choose to use terms and spellings found in Queen's English because they think it sounds cooler? although they've never once been to the country. It's kind of an odd phenomenon and it's kinda disorienting in conversation lol.

My pet peeve is "At the end of the day"

YES
