    I hate 'ya'll' It's not a word. It doesn't make sense. Stop it.

    Ya'll isn't a word, but y'all is. It's a contraction for the pronoun "you all." You must not be from the south... :) What is not a word, however, and drives me absolutely nuts is "irregardless".

    Hahaha! Yes! I'm not "from" the south, as I was born and raised in Michigan, but I have lived in South Carolina for the better part of my adult life. I completely agree. To argue otherwise in this state would be suicide....okay, well, maybe suicide is a bit strong, but it would definitely warrant a serious "butt whippin'". LOL

    "Irregardless" is another annoyance of mine, as is "I could care less". It should be "I COULDN'T care less", since you are, in effect, trying to point out that you couldn't possibly care any less than you care at this moment.

    Bad grammar/spelling.

    When people mix up "to/too", "your/you're", "affect/effect", "lose/loose," etc...it drives me nuts.

    Bad grammar is my biggest pet peeve too. Specifically, it drives me absolutely nuts when people say "irregardless" when they mean regardless. Irregardless is not a word! The prefix IR means "not" and the suffix "LESS" means without, so "irregardless" would mean "not without regard," which means "with regard," which is the exact opposite of regardless.

    What gripes me even more than that is any word in front of unique (ie. very unique, truly unique, etc.). There cannot be varying degrees of uniqueness. Unique means there is not another like it in the whole world, so how can something be slightly unique? It can't!

    Thanks for letting me rant! I feel better.

    When you're talking with someone about something you like, and they say 'It sucks' or something rude like that instead of just saying they dislike it nicely. Uggh D:<

    LOUD CHEWING, especially gum chewing. It is the most vile, offensive and annoying thing ever. My dad sounds like a pig when he eats and my entire family calls him out on it but he refuses to change. But I actually get FURIOUS when people chew and pop gum.

    Also, my brother and sister like to put their clothes on our lidded laundry hamper, but not inside. If you're going to walk to the hamper can you at LEAST use the extra exertion to stick it in the hamper??

    Your second peeve drives me crazy. If you use the last of the roll REFILL IT. It's not that hard. The toilet paper is ALWAYS close by. Stupid jerks.

    Animal cruelty.

    About the over or under thing. It's toilet paper. Considering where you are going to put it, the bigger question has yet to be asked. Front to back or back to front? :laugh:

    That's a northern thing Terri. Down here we say y'all, which drives northerners crazy!
