This is a question The Little Things

'Hullo chaps', bellows Richard McBeef, of 'the internet' fame. My boss has managed to make 'shown' into a two syllable word and it drives me round the fucking bend. Tell us about the little things that people around you do, which annoy you for more than they rationally should. Vent your spleen.

People who say they "make" food
Clive, from opposite the YMCA, doesn't "make" the noodles. He cooks the noodles. Doris, from number 34, who works in the noodle factory, makes the noodles.

I hear someone say "I'm making pasta", and I'm thinking, wow, there's a frood who has a proper rolling-out-thin device, and possibly even a mill. But no. The daft chump has just managed to boil some water all by himself.

It's quite clear: the words are spelt differently, and they mean different things.

And nobody fucking fixes the fucking noodles. They weren't broken.

The correct term would be "preparing".
No one but you gives a shit, however, as they are able to parse sentences without taking everything literally.

I'm off to make a hullabaloo next door. Ta ra!
