    When my kids say "It was so fun!" No dear, it was fun, or is was so much fun. Or a lot of fun. But not so fun.

    Also, people who use the word bath as a verb. "I'm going to bath my two-year old." NO! You are going to bathe your two-year old. The letter E was invented just for this reason.

    But the worst, the most annoying, the most insidious disruptor of the intellectual process, is the term "baby" as it's used these days in commercials. As in, "Buy Cornflakes, baby loves them." or "This soap is soft on baby's skin".

    ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!

    It's the baby, a baby, my baby, your baby. Not just baby.

    And when I hear some heinous beyotch say "I'm going to bath baby." Well, death row is looking me in the eye because Im going to strangle the very life out of the mother just so her kid doesn't grow up and learn to speak like her.

    But isn't baby's correct? I am going to wash the baby 'his' skin? That is how I remember it... Been a while *REQUEST!* is it though or tho? and when? And explain to me, what is the difference between through and thrue?

    You can't use the word baby without putting, a, the, my, your, before it.

    They're not saying babies love Cornflakes. They're saying baby loves Cornflakes. They're trying to personalize a collective and it sounds really, really stupid.

    The difference in the words you cited is simply that one spelling right and one is wrong.

    People misprounoucing my last name (Its PIAZZA not PIZZA or PYEAHZAH!) and people calling me a Nazi or a Communist. Or when people think I'm Jewish. Or Protestant. Or when Marine Recruiters try to recruit me (Im on my third one this year), Ditto for Army recruiters.

    Ahh.. The apostrophe. It's annoying, isn't it? Good thing about Finnish that there are no apostrophes in it.

    People who are to stupid to even associate with. I get frustrated because I know they are idiots and if I get this strong urge to tell them. I wish I lived in a world where idiots were whiped out.

    Another thing is the word 'feduciary'. I can't f4cken stand it when people use that word, it angres me beyond anything!
