I am the grammar gestapo. I hate it when people use words in the incorrect context. I'm generally not nitpicky about spelling, but I hate it when people confuse homophones (there, their, they're etc). I REALLY hate net/text message shorthand. Seriously people, unless you're being funny (like lolcode), you don't need to make simple words idiotic (u, r, 2).

i hve 2 agree - i h8 txt spk evn in txt msgs!! Actually - what i hate even more is bad puncuation and grammer. I also hate overuse of the word actually - and i am probably one of the worst offenders. I annoy myself every time i notice that i have used it more than once in a post!!

chellekitty -> RE: whats your pet peeve? (9/16/2007 6:57:20 AM)
i am a horrific capitalizer and the only punctuation i use on a consistant basis are .... "," """ (lol) and well you get the point...the basics...well and a semi-colon thrown in every once in a while and i do not use words that i think i know the definition of...i look it up if i am not absolutely sure and if i want to use a word more than once and i cannot, off the top of my head think up a synonym, i use a thesaurus....i like dictionary.reference.com from, there you can click on the thesaurus button...its quite fun just to look up words, but i could be a nerd on that....

People who ask me to teach them UNIX data structuring and signal routing via email... [;)] Long lines at the coffeeshop. People afraid of committing themselves to courses of action they're already committed to. Gravity. I can put up with poor language skills - I deal with budding engineers for a living.

quote: ORIGINAL: chellekitty since i was told by the thread starter on the other recently started pet peeve thread that she didn't want to tackle any more pet peeves, i thought i would ask: whats your pet peeve? big or little... day to day or once in a while... annoying or makes you want to smack them with a branch from the un-ignorance tree heres the ones i have thinking about today... God Bless America....when did God sign an endorsement contract with America? but i think i adressed this the other day... Any story that starts with, "you think thats 'something', let me tell you...." Well...stop...shut the fuck up...anything you say after that is just going to be an attempt to trivialize or mimimalize someone else's story or experience...whether its a war vet, a medical professional, a drug addict, a parent, a teacher, a lifestyler, someone you meet on the street, or anyone else...its a sign of one up manship... And last but not least...people that assume they know everything about you based on the image you present in a specific "forum"...whether it be these message boards, a chat room, school, church, munches, whatever...i am rarely my entire self in one place...yes i censor myself...cause i won't say whatever is in my head wherever i am whenever i want...i won't tell people here intimate details of my personal life (there is so much more than i post here)...i won't tell people at church about my kinky sex life...i could...but i choose not to...do they know me? yes...do they know everything about me, no...does that stop us from being able to form intimate (not sexual...thats another pet peeve btw, intimate does not mean sexual) caring relationships? no...jeeeze... next? Tennis match arguments in these forums. It's obvious the other person doesn't share the poster's view. MOVE DA HELL ON! Why they insist on trying to convince someone that their view is wrong escapes Me. Anyone who mixes up My spices on the rack. They are alphabetized. Leave them the way you found them. People at work who park in My parking space. What part of their brain didn't wake up that morning? Can't read? Wet towels in My bathroom.

e01n....i didn't realize you were a stupid head UNIX user or i wouldn't have bugged you....i am stuck with windows... Bounty...what you really want to say is..."i'll get his eyes checked next week, in the mean time, learn to read"? i have friends who's dogs are like that...and we are continually telling people, no, if they meant to bite you, they would have....

Lucky someone was at the door and took them off point or they would have got their asses chewed good,...OL' SAM will make a believe out of you quick,hell that why they are called protection dawgs smile... The very worst is the JW's they feel its their duty to wade Thur a pack of snarling' dawgs to place a damm book in your door...

chellekitty -> RE: whats your pet peeve? (9/17/2007 6:38:53 AM)
yep...with their dogs, it depends on who is home because they are in a rental property right now...if the kids are home by themselves...do not come in the property...parents are home too...kids can call them back enough until an adult gets to the door...most people get the point when they stick their hand over the fence to say "hi to the nice puppies" and get teeth and growls...but the house alarm - the youngest and newest dog, usually lets us know when there is anyone or anything (including a skunk last weekend) within 50 ft of the fence...

BOUNTYHUNTER -> RE: whats your pet peeve? (9/17/2007 6:41:52 AM)
I hear you, freakin' skunks had a pup get hold of one last week....
