Non-religious pet peeves

[Cecilie]

I've said this somewhere, but people who describe themselves as "random".
Oh, and people who write Facebook as FaceBook.

Vandalism and graffitti.

[Extropian]

Among the foullest of offenses that has arisen in the most recent generation [and perhaps the one before that] is the utter abandon with which offenders, when encountering any word ending in the letter S, are compelled by some ineffable force to apostrophise it! There is at least one such abomination on the page immediately previous to this one.

They have apparently never been taught to distinguish between plurals and the possessive case.

There is a rather laughable example similar to this in a discussion group of which I am a member where KUDOS is awarded for a meritorious post. However, it is doled out one KUDO at a time!

Yet I'm certain that their management has never felt called upon to refer to just one CHAO or one COSMO or one HUBRI.

But I won't collapse in a screaming heap if I ever encounter it.

Albert Einstein very perspicaciously wrote...........

"Two things are infinite, the Universe and human stupidity and I'm not certain about the former."

"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits."

You mean like when they write things like "Atheist's" and "Monday's"? It makes me want to tear my hair out!

It confounds all logic that the perpetrators had sufficient brains that they learned to breathe.

What I find most astonishing is that they celebrate their lack of learning and try to make a virtue of it!

This from one who writes DEFINATELY in her notification of sending the topic RELIGIOUS EXCLAMATIONS from LBL to the main forum without so much as the courtesy of a moment's grace.

When you go to a fast food place and you ask for bar-b-q sause and then you get home thinking that you are going to enjoy your god dam... I mean my Invisible pink unicorn damned chicken fingers only to find out they forgot to place some bar-b-q sause in the bag! bastards! Or "Can you remove the tomato from my burger, please" and then you get home and you find out there is tomato in the fucking thing!

Or order a sandwich with no mayo, but get extra mayo instead.

Do you post under the name of Ravenwynter in another group? Your terminology is very similar.

The details of yourself that you made available to members led me to believe you had the erudition to have learned basic spelling

Courtesy can be largely a cultural thing...........I can allow for that, no problem.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand the things Extropian says?

Oh, so your comment was meant to be taken with offense.  Strike 1...hint, don't piss off the admin.

[Cecilie]

Also people who are too nice. They always seem fake.
