Words or sentences that tick you off...

[Perplexia]

There are some words when placed together that are like nails on chalk board to me. For example when i ask the kid if somethings done and the response i get is "not yet" or when she asks me a question and i tell her no and she responds with "What do you mean?" ..What words tick you off?

 

[Seranova]

Alot.

Alot is not a word.

I hate it. With a passion.

Although, this link has helped me cope alot.
The Alot is Better Than You at Everything

A whole 'nother.

 

[Ldy_Sea]

Itch myself

Itch is a sensation. Unless you pour itching powder on yourself you are not itching yourself!

 

[kiwi_submissive]

Yeah Naaaahhhhhhhh

 

[Mephistophelily]

"I was gonna."
The sentence structure.
The meaning behind it.

Both just leave me seething.

I was gonna say...

 

[Cheska]

"Whatever."

as in, "Like, whatever.." or

I am not sure we can do that.

"Whatever."

together or apart.. those two words when one if followed by the other are dismissive.
When someone says "What ever." to you, they have just said "You do not matter to me, what you have said is unimportant to me, you are unimportant enough for me to respect at all."


I have yelled at a manager for that.. an then quit.

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

BUT.

Fuck, I hate that word.

It is the shortest whine in all of the known universe.

Any sentence or query that begins with that word will force me to tune it out. You are asking me a negative. You are stating a negative. You are annoying the hell out of me. STOP IT.

OH Gods.

Other words or phrases include~

"So, like,..."

"Whatever...."

The ever popular, ever faithful~

"WHY???" (in that fucking whine that makes me want to throttle something.)

And the word "NO."

Just that word. If I am asking you, telling you to do something? It's because I need you to do that thing. No matter what that thing is. NO? Is like waving something in front of an angry bull, especially if you have no cause to give me a flat no or if you belong to, or with, ME.

No is not acceptable, under any circumstance.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

The word 'like' when it is used to make a simile out of every other word out of the mouths of the younger generation, especially if it's coming from a college age person. My god! What are you, like a 13 year old girl or something? Not everything in life is a simile. Somethings are not 'like' anything else, they just are what they are! And when you say something, you do not 'go like'......, nor were you 'all like'........! If you are in college and you talk like this, it is woefully past the time that you learned to use the language properly. You are supposedly engaged in the highest levels of your higher education! Speak properly!







Sorry for the rant......no, not really.

 

[Perplexia]

I am a firm believer in pronunciation. You are going to wash the car not warsh it. You are going to ask me a question not axe it. whatnot ...irritates the piss out of me.
ya know.. no i don't please elaborate using a full sentence.

 

[Sasha25]

"It is what it is."

 

[smart_and_sexytxgirl]

I hate it when every other word is an expletive. Yes, there are times and places where those are appropriate, but there are so many other words that better fit the meaning you are trying to convey, more appropriate and convincing than four-letter words.

 

[Adre]

At the end of the day.

 

[Ldy_Sea]

"MacDonalds" There is no a it's pronunced MICK-Donalds"

 

[jack80]

Noobs.

Okay you won, but wtf, why and be a smartass about it.

 

[Veroe]

"Discombobulation"

Just look at it....doesn't the sight of it just fucking piss you off too

I mean where does it get off?

 

[Ldy_Sea]

Nipples McGee

Mike Yates

any explanation needed?

 

[SiaKlynn]

Liberry.

No, it's LIBRARY.

Okay, so that is more a mispronunciation, but it pisses me off.

I also hate when someone IMs "how r u"
It's an instant block.

R and U are letters not words.

I'll let it slide if it's a text message, but it still grates on my nerves.

I attempt to have perfect spelling and punctuation in all my texts. Unless it is ONE character from becoming a second Text message. If it is I will go back and remove a single vowel, or make a 'U'. Otherwise. If it would be two characters over and into a second text. You get two texts. And the first has extra spacing.

I type out my words in text messages too. There have been a handful of times I've quickly used "U" and I swear it hurt to type. LoL

What I've noticed is that people are becoming too dependant on the shorthand and forget that when writing an email at work to spell out words. It's sad and embarrassing.

 

[Britwitch]

I cannot, cannot, do text speak. Even when texting.
When I got my first ever phone I tried, I really did, but found myself going back through and adding all the missing letters and punctuation
And when I get messages written that way I find myself unable to read them properly as I'm so cross that someone who took the time to text me couldn't take half a minute more and do it properly

I think there is a place for it, in emergencies and when time is of the essence but it has no place, no place at all, in anything that is trying to resemble actual writing.



Blame my Britishness!

 

[Ldy_Sea]

In college I have seen those fresh from HS turn in papers written in text shorthand. Not just one or two but the whole paper written with u r luv and more. Really sad.

*Hugs*

No you are absolutely right. There is no place for it.

I'd hug Sia but we don't know each other. So I will wave and angrily agree with her.
