    Don't get angry, but the term

    Free gift

    annoys me. I've never had to pay for a gift.

    when my dogs lick their feet
    people who don't put their weights back
    snoring
    people that give a running commentary of their lives on facebook. I really don't give a **** if you just cleaned the toilet/washed your dog/think that you should get off FB and cook dinner.

    Sorry, but those are both legitimate and acceptable words - at least according to the Oxford and Webster dictionaries. Obligated is the more common usage in the U.S. I rarely hear obliged used at all.

    For example: http://oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/obligate?q=obligate
    'the money must be obligated within thirty days'

    And Webster: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/obligate

    Maybe you can rage over these instead: http://www.buzzfeed.com/adamellis/17-misused-and-made-up-words-that-make-you-rage

    You can quote all the online dictionary's you want. Seeing as they all use the bastardised american version of English they are bound to be wrong too.
    I am English, I speak English, I don't speak, read or write in Americanish, therefore when I hear it used in England by an English person it is wrong. Much the same as spelling colour, honour, valour or any other derivation without using the letter U is also wrong.

    It is too early for this. At least, in America it is.

    My anger is usually reasonable.

    Unless I go to Walmart.

    No, even then, it's completely warranted.

    **dictionaries.

    Sorry, I also get unreasonably angry when people don't pluralise correctly.

    and that's one of the many reasons why you have a soft spot in me heart.

    Obligated and obliged are two different words, with different meanings. They both originated in 'proper' English.

    What do you get unreasonably angry about?

    About slow drivers in the left lane, which I hardly see in Germany but over here (US) it is a pain.
