More Things I Hate

[elevated_u2_fan]

and I agree with you.

That I'm losing my Italian. Because my stupid bloody uni doesn't offer it at my campus, I can't do it. So I haven't spoken/read/written/etc in Italian for months, and it sucks.

tis a shame, i could've used you to be my interpreter recently when some dude from italy bought something from me off ebay. he couldn't speak any english so i had to translate everything myself why he couldn't just do that i'll never know.

i read it once and didn't understand it, so i stuck it into urbandictionary...and now i always say it.

yeah, i used to see it all the time and then about a year or so ago it finally clicked for me wtf it meant

ohh... ok...

Should I change my username to ELEVATED_U2_FAN just to be different?

YOU SHOULD, IT WOULDN'T BE OBNOXIOUS AT ALL.

smell of fresh cut grass

oh god, i hate that smell too. whenever someone's mowed, i can feel my chest tightening up and my eyes start watering.

 

[cobl04]

I don't get it, why did you change your username from upper case to lower case?

amazingly enough, the sole reason is because it was annoying to type in uppercase and with the _.

oh, and because it's hipster of me.

i read it once and didn't understand it, so i stuck it into urbandictionary...and now i always say it.

it's really handy, and provides a few laughs, but that website once told me my nickname meant 'a dick strong enough to lift a car'

ooh, that would have been perfect! let me know next time you get something from italy.

your nickname is morningwood?

 

[Cin]

your nickname is morningwood?

I could think of worse nicknames.

 

[Angela Harlem]

time to confess:

getting a lot of bad thoughts, and bad ideas into my head

help

talk to people. please.

 

[Angela Harlem]

how do we change our usernames?

 

[cobl04]

and anna, you just have a chat to sicy.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

while we're on the subject of grammar (k we weren't really), let's talk apostrophes. a part of me dies when people don't use them when they're supposed to.

 

[coolian2]

youre kidding!

 

[Angela Harlem]

...(k we weren't really)...a part of me dies when people don't use them when they're supposed to.

 

[Angela Harlem]

ps, i can't criticise. my grammar is that of an alien species who's never even been to earth, let alone learned english.

 

[Purplereign]

^ . . . same here . . . it's that whole 'possessive v non possessive' thing that never fails to trip me up . . . and the use of 'to vs too' . . . clueless, completely

Or when people use them when they're *not* supposed to!

 

[Babydoll]

^ Yep.

Eg: I saw someone type "I love's it". I mean... I love is it??

And the incorrect uses of your and you're drives me insane!!

 

[anitram]

I am a huge, GIANT snob when it comes to grammar.

If I can do it properly in English, which is my third language, I absolutely expect native speakers to be bothered enough to learn. It's one of my biggest pet peeves.

 

[Babydoll]

Me too! English is my third language ( fourth? ) as well and I am an absolute stickler for spelling and grammar. What irks me the most is the "should of" "would of" " could of." And spelling ridiculous as rediculous.

There's only one mistake I keep making in English, and I can't even remember now what it was. I'm sure Zee remembers.

 

[Babydoll]

I do

 

[Galeongirl]

Please tell me so I can remember it!


Oh right, it's definitely right? I always spell it definately.

 

[Babydoll]

Yeah

But at least you don't say "should of" and you don't say "you're" when you mean your... and vice-versa. And there instead of their.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Yeah

But at least you don't say "should of"

That one particularly bothers me because it usually means the mistake-maker doesn't READ!

 

[anitram]

The you're/your bothers me a LOT too. It takes about a half a second of thought to figure out the right one. If you can substitute it with "you are" then it's not bloody YOUR.

 

[MsPurrl]

The to/too thing bothers me a lot! As in, "I like it to." Acccckkkkk!

 

[kafrun]

smell of fresh cut grass

I had my first wheatgrass shot yesterday. I had the taste of fresh cut grass in my mouth, even after a guava chaser

 

[cobl04]

I think Grammar is going to come up in these threads every time, every 20 pages or so

 

[lynnok]

I hate seeing this:

 

[MsPurrl]

^ That is just *wrong*.

 

[Cin]

I hate that Mr Cin has been going into my Facebook and keeps removing someone he doesn't like from my friends. I keep putting them back and laffing.

 

[Bonoa]

I hate seeing this:

That brings me to one of my biggest pet peeves: Paris Hilton and airhead girls who want to be just like her!
