Small things that get to you very easily

[Productivity]

People writing persay instead of per se .

For some reason it just makes me really angry.

What are yours?

[Ja'chyra]

Lots of things bug me, I'll give you a list after my meeting.

[Colovion]

when people can't get their "There" "Their" and "they're"'s together correctly.

people who interupt me >:(

[Somebody Else]

Children

[Fragony]

Br33ZaAH language.

[King Edward]

People eating with their (that ok Colovion? ) mouth open!

[Beirut]

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?

[Beirut]

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.

Still I see a lot of thru and tho, internet slang I guess

[English assassin]

Grocers' apostrophes. (Eg using an apostrophe in a plural, "Apple's 50p a pound, banana's a pound a bunch")

Also people writing its for it's and vice versa.

I wouldn't say they get to me, I just assume any native English speaking person who does it is thick.

I'm not sure I agree that verbing nouns is annoying though. And I thought thru was an American spelling?

OMG - this is really going rampant here in Germany - and in German spelling you don't even use the apostrophe for the genitive

But see for yourself

Some of these examples only make sense if you understand German - my personal favourite is #16

[Don Corleone]

I hate, hate, hate ~ it when people spell night as 'nite' and right as rite. It's almost always done in marketing, and it makes me think that advertisers or product marketing people think we must be dumb as dirt.

Go to the local breakfast diner, and what do they have on the menu? The WORST of them all.... prepare yourselves.... a tend-'A' loin biscuit. GAH! ~

[TheSilverKnight]

Omg that's hilarious Ser! even better 'cause I know German...lmfao *laughing at the pictures*...

What really bothers me is when people spell things wrong when it's just a few letters that need to be typed...like...'u' or 'c ya' instead of 'see you'...*shudders*

Lexica's

On No! We have infected the Germans now

I admit my guilt for using thru and tho', for through and though (or although). There has been a trend to drop the 'ough' or convert it to it's sound, in US english, since there is so much varience.

I guess I've been on the internet too long now to let creative spelling bother me much. However, one that makes me cringe is "of" being used for "have".

"I should of driven slower.", for "I should have driven slower.". I understand where it comes from ('of' is how the contraction should've sounds), but 'of driven' makes no sense.

“Irregardless”
I even hear news anchors use this one on occasion.

“I could care less”.
They always mean “I couldn’t care less” but few people get it right.

The word “too” too often gets reduced to “to”.

[Ja'chyra]

“I could care less”.
They always mean “I couldn’t care less” but few people get it right.

I use this, but follow it with "But I'd be dead"

What bugs me?

Mostly people, I am very comfortable with my own company and rarely get bored so I really have to be in the mood to put up with people, and I really hate people who talk too much (Like my wife does, mainly at bed time). Right now I am at work and there are poeple here who spend all day talking, it gets on my nerves, I wouldn't mind but they talk so much and say nothing.

And another one, round dodgers, need I say more.

edit: Oh, and, made up sayings like "Thinking out of the box" what the hell does that mean, I'm not in a box.

[Duke Malcolm]

Bad grammar, bad punctuation, bad spelling, holding one's cutlery incorrectly, socialism, a lack of meat in the main meal of the day, the denouncing of the sacred name of cheese, someone not liking potatoes,and (worst of all) tea with no sugar are the things that get to me...

There are a lot more, but the list would be too long.

[Redleg]

so many - to many to name actually

[The Wizard]

Br33ZaAH language.

Yes, just keep it locked up in cu2 with all the other loonies (like badpakboi) and spare me...

Misplaced arrogance... i.e. people who don't deserve to be arrogant but are so anyway.

Idiots... you want to diss them but they are just too stupid to understand...

And last of this selection... lag on my PC.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

People using adjectives instead of adverbs-"Look how fast he's running!" "He perfomed poor".

[Goofball]

One word:

Irregardless

Apre's ski? Oh. My. God.



Whoever did that does need to be beaten, seriously.

[The_Mark]

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

Fortunately...
Bob's quick guide to the apostrophe, you idiots

Woops-I appear to have tripped myself up...

[Byzantine Prince]

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!

[Nelson]

Ah, that would be "too stupid", damn it!

[Nelson]

Ever heard anyone in the office ask for statistics for “physical year 2004”?

Not calendar year or fiscal year but physical year. Ay caramba.
