Know what I hate? When I click first unread post on the today thread, it's an awesome topic and then I realise that I'm 5 pages from the end of the topic and it would be awkward to quote someone.

Where is this 'first unread post' button? Because I'm in need of one of those.

To the left of the thread title for me. Awesome button.

Back in my day, all we had was the [Last Page] button at the bottom of the OPEN PAGED thread. So you had to click on the title, scroll down page 1, and go only to the last page.

 

Youngins and their damn last reply machines.

I hate Lisa Lamponelli. She basically just states some offensive stereotypes, insults the front row of her audience, then calls it a day. There are so few actual jokes in her show.

I find her funny.

What I find annoying is when people use the wrong word. Like for example if someone were to say "Hold on a sec, just let me itch my arm."

Serious question: What's the wrong word in that sentence? :unsure:

Itch instead of scratch. Scratch is to scrape your nails where it itches. Itch is the uncomfortable feeling.

He'd prefer the word "Scratch" to "Itch".

Itch. You don't itch yourself, you scratch yourself.

 

I also have this problem with an insignificant word. Lay and lie. You LAY an object down like a tray or a mat. You LIE your body down on your bed or a towel. You don't go lay down somewhere and you don't lie down an object.

Oh, I'm a linguistics minor in college, so I find people's opinions about language fascinating. I've always considered itch a perfectly acceptable verb. But that may be a regional thing.

"Could of" instead of "Could have". Normally, I don't care about spelling/grammar mistakes but I always notice this one.

You guys would absolutely hate me then. That's all I'm gonna say.

Itch (Latin: pruritus) is a sensation that causes the desire or reflex to scratch

 

Itching yourself is wrooooooooong.

I cringe when people use "Itch" as a verb. And when they use "seen" wrong.

("I seen a dog the other day". No, you saw it, not seen it)

("I seen a dog the other day". No, you saw it, not seen it)

 

That's just stupid.

 

On the topic of stupid people, I've had the pleasure of meeting these two people who were thick as [cabbage]. Just a sample of the beauty of stupidity of what they said:

 

"Black is in the rainbow"

"Grey is a colour"

"What is communism"

"Who is Stalin"

"Why don't we celebrate 9/11"

"Who is the Pied Piper"

In linguistics, there is often a distinction between prescriptive and descriptive grammar. Prescriptive grammar is where dictionary definitions and "proper" grammar falls, what would be considered standard. Descriptive grammar is how words and grammar are used in everyday language. Prescriptive linguists would agree with you, deeming "itch an itch" completely improper, whereas descriptive linguists like myself find such uses interesting and acceptable, though unlikely to be used in formal writing or language, such as if I were to write an academic paper or give a presentation.

When people don't leave things the way they found them or when they don't close things all the way. Like leaving drawers just half an inch open bugs the hell out of me. What I find VERY annoying though is when I have the door to my room closed and someone comes in, talks to me or whatever and leaves without closing the door like they found it. I don't think it's too much to ask.

Why is gray not a color and who is pied piper?

People who put things back in the wrong place at stores. I went to Target with a friend, and he picked up a tie rack, decided he didn't want it, and hung it up all the way across the store from where it was supposed to go. I told him that it was a good thing I didn't work there, otherwise I would have punched him in the face.

Gray is considered a "shade" or something. Anything on the black-white colour scale is technically not a color.

I hate popping in a new game into my PS3 and then remembering that it has to download before I can play it...

Went to a little family game night.

 

My little brother starts talking about how he can flex his pecs and make them move and what not. So [bleep]ing annoying.

 

And no, I'm not jealous. I just find it real [bleep]ing weird and super cocky.

^ Hate when people do that. I usually try and just condescendingly dismiss whatever they're saying, if they get too annoying with it.

 

A few of my friends are annoying me at the moment. I've realized that if a member of our group is missing, the rest of the group will usually insult them a few times for whatever reason they have. It's annoying because they're talking bad about a friend, and because I know they would probably make fun of me in the same situation when I'm not there. It makes people harder to trust.

^I always call my friends out whenever they do that. After a few years, I don't even remember the last time they've talked about another member of our group behind their backs (They probably talk about me now, because I'm not there to scold them )
