Pet Peeves v. u mad?

maybe they don't think they're extraordinary. maybe you just dislike them for some reason (or whatever) and you just think they think they're extraordinary?

people who jump to erroneous conclusions are a pet peeve for many...

As you just proved by jumping to an erroneous conclusion about me. ;)
 
People who post on the internet with the sole purpose of creating misery, both for themselves and others. I don't need to name names. If you're reading this post and the first thought that pops into your head is, "This motherf***er had better not be talking about me!" then yes, I'm talking about you.

Why be miserable? There's enough misery in the real world without artificially creating it online.
 
too bad there isn't some kind of global network which you could use to access some kind of 'search' page to look this kind of thing up...

what's the problem?

not everyone's education level is as high as the general population, whether is be by choice or circumstance it really doesn't matter, I see their lack of intelligence(not that proper writing is any kind of measure of intelligence) as their problem, and only their problem...if you can even call it that

this is 2013, not 1960, using text book English just isn't a requirement for anything, unless you're a professional writer....it's about as significant as typical trivial knowledge imo

c'mon bud I was just hoping to make it former pet peeve of yours

reading poorly written material is a reflection of how our society is going to shit, so I can kind of understand your frustrations
 
Id rather be able to communicate effectively with the average person using good analogies and relatable experiences then to talk like a grammar major with a minor in being better than you for knowing some man made language.
 
Equivocation fallacies.(Using the wrong meaning of a word) Especially absurd ones. I.e. arguing that General Relativity is misogynistic/racist/etc because the speed of light is a "privileged" frame of reference.

More subtle examples exist but am too lazy.
 
Another pet peeve of mine: homeless people touching me

I honestly wonder how homeless people touch non-homeless people and don't get beat up to shreds. I just keep walking because I have a life and am not a violent person... but not everyone is like me.

Sadly, not everyone got to learn English with the honorable Ugly.

saying, correctly, "could have" instead of "could of" is hardly grammar major stuff - it's day to day english.

this thread is funny. if you think everybody in the world is a shitty driver lots of nodding, but if you suggest that somebody's lazy, shitty use of english is a pet peeve, it's some kind of crime.
