i know that skin!
Hell-lousie, household hint #1
never use spit or windex to clean the monitor. spit smears, windex takes off the anti glare coating.

I'm actually a couple of people's pet peeve. I have a bad habit when speaking of mispronouncing words or using the wrong word in a sentence or getting myself tongue-tied on normal phrases. It tends to piss off a couple of my friends to no end.

I think it can depend. If you're used to a person and understand the trouble they have, it's easier to tolerate. But if they're someone you don't know, or someone you know has had one killer of an education and should speak like an Encyclopedia, it can be annoying as hell. Or like, your mom who always got on your case for saying "ain't" >.<

Don’t get me wrong.

To a large extent, I am self-educated and – no doubt – mispronounce words myself.

Simply mispronouncing a word doesn’t upset me. But when a person putting on airs as an authority on Cinema can’t pronounce the word film properly, something in my brain curdles.

The same thing happens when an obviously well-educated person (black or white) says they want to 'axe' me something.

My best friend back at Joe’s Bar & Grill & Bar could practically incapacitate me with laughter, simply by stringing a bunch of malapropisms together as she went about her normal discourse.

It was a gift that she had, which she could turn on whenever she wished; but she could never be entirely certain that she had it fully turned off.
