fivejedjonI believe that, in the meaning of 'annoyed', AmE drops the 'off'Actually, no. In AmE "******" = "****** off". We treat "off" as an optional element even though we use it quite a bit. In either case it's usually stronger than 'annoyed'. It can be to the point of 'fuming with anger'.

CalifJimLet me venture a guess. In BrE "******" without "off" means "drunk".Yes. thpugh I hear it these days in the AmE sense.
AnonymousShouldn't it be, 'Is any correction needed?'?Yes. I had omitted to strike out the incorrect 'is'. I had corrected it before your post appeared. I shall delete your post and this one in a couple of hours so that they don't disrupt this thread. I am leaving them for the moment so that you can see that you did indeed spot a slip of mine.
