I’m thinking the op is remembering a sports rivalry from years ago that I also heard. I think it was a broadcast caught on a movie filming even.

Derry vs Dublin or something. And so the Isle of Man converted to Derry as a boastful claim of superiority.

But yeah, technically you’re right with IoM and Londonderry.

The one that's been bugging me is when people say they're going to try and do something rather than try to do it.

People's inability to pluralize the word "text" infuriated me. Lots of other words ending in -ct, -st, and -xt, for that matter.

"Should have went" is a great way to get dismissed as an idiot, too.

Not just here, but I see it ALL OVER the internet in general: people referring to a singular female as "a women." It drives me up the wall.

I have seen it here, not by a poster, and regularly in emails and correspondence for work, but when someone says "on tomorrow" or "on yesterday"

"Waist" when they mean waste.
"Breaks" when they mean brakes.

English is hard.
