Foolish grammer/spelling rules that plague the English language...I before E except after C...BullSh!t ... A,E,I,O,U and SOMETIMES Y ...WTF make Y one or the other! C can sound like an "s" or "k" or the totally different CH sound... if it needs to like an S use a flippin S a K, use a bleedin K then... or... the use of the word(or NON word) "irregardles"...the word is regardless learn it, you sound like a flippin moron... the word AXE and not the cutting instrument but rather let me AXE you something...if you can say skip, scarcrow, skimpy, or scoop... you can say ASK but if you prefer to sound like a freekin moron by all means...AXE away! its NOT an ATM machine zippy the M is machine...you're saying I got to go to the automated teller machine machine... and one I hear at work... MSDS sheets, same as ATM... MSDS is Material Safety Data Sheets...so its eithe MSD sheets or MSDS...but don't AXE me to see a copy of the material safety data sheets sheets...bone head!!!  I could go on but it would be PAGES long

Well, I have all of those very same little irritants also, Rob, but I guess you haven't heard that there HAS been a ruling on this one issue here..... Quote:
A,E,I,O,U and SOMETIMES Y ...WTF make Y one or the other!
That eminent lexicographer...Pat Sajak...ruled YEARS AGO that a "Y" isn't a vowel afterall, Dude!!!
(so we won't have this as an issue anymore, I'll AXE you to update all your reference guides in this regard, please)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

irregardless , those all still bother me as well. I have seen hear used for here alot on this site too. My mom was a teacher and my grandmother an English major (sp?) both graduated top of their classes so they and my grandfather drummed that stuff into my head all my life. I never could spell irregardless of my IQ or education. I also tend to type run on sentances! 
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

It annoys me when a movie trailer has all the best scenes and/or jokes from a movie, only to find out that the rest is crap, but only after you fork over your cash.

I'll buy that because how then do you explain the word "Science"? Or taking that a step forward...
"Weird Science".

How about plastic? Everthing is made cheaply and out of plastic, I just replaced my washer about 2 years ago that was made about 1953 and still worked fine but had a small washer leaking on the bottom of the clothes drum. I decided I would "upgrade" to a super capacity plus Wirlpool. Well I have had to fix the darn thing 3 times already and that old Kenmore never broke! Planned obsolesence.

That, and when you're going down the 4 lane highway, somebody passes and they feel the need to cut back into the right hand lane when they've just cleared your front bumper. And there's not another vehicle in sight  .

No totally different story. Had nothing to do with you. Some guy at a bar said that and the poster was looking for what we might have said if I remember correctly.

Saying it's on page 6 assumes that everyone uses the same preferences (very irritating ).
They don't.
It's on the top of page three for me.

Personal or as you guys call them "vanity" plates. I was refused one on my import twice because some seat warmer deemed that it may be considered offensive. When I gave up trying to put it on a car I tried my Triumph. Two weeks later I received a letter informing me that because it was a name it would be and extra $450.00. What did they think I wanted to put on it? Perhaps a random alphanumeric sequence! That one comes with the vehicle registration you a$$hats I turned the "E" into a "3" and the organ donor behind the counter thought that would be o.k....condescending sack of crap 
...yes, that is a single seat...no, I will not put the other seat on...yes, I am selfish...yes, you should buy your own bike

OH I don't know about that DeeWight. The question was asked and answered. No politics here. If I would have wrote... Liberals because...blah blah blah, then it can be deleted. You could have written that bald guys irritate you and I would have written "Hey I'm bald" then I would have gotten really mad and yelled "He said bald guys irritate him, He said bald guys irritate him! I'm bald! I want JUSTICE!!" That may get deleted. You see.

Yeah Rob....I hears ya dude! What WAS that statement I kept hearin' from all those people back there in NH once they met me???  Oh YEAH! It was somethin' like..."Well, you're not as BAD as I thought you were gonna be!"...or somethin' along those lines anyway!  (in FACT, they just MIGHT have used the word "irritating" in that sentence, come to think of it!)

Hey Ron! Thanks dude!
(of course people, don't forget, THIS is coming from a guy who uses the name of some weird woodland creature as his signature around here....to say NOTHING of being a RED SOX FAN...the poor guy)
(actually the Sox look like the team to beat this year....other than say...THE ANGELS!!!!)
