    People who walk up and look at my food and ask what I'm eating. It pisses me off completely to where I want to throw it at them. I get so mad when someone does that.

    Hearing about the American presidential debate every. single. day. - I'm not sure how this affects me, I'm not sure how this affects Australia?

    People who walk around town under the overhangs with giant golfing umbrellas when it's raining - I'm only wearing a coat and I have to move for you, your umbrella is the size of a satellite dish and it almost poked my eye out!

    Sidewalk hoggers - especially groups that walk 4+ abreast.

    Single people walking against the flow on the sidewalk - really? can you not see 400 other people walking towards you?!

    How it rains only on weekends, and the rest of the week is perfectly fine sunny weather.

    Odd products that are packaged as food - cheese whiz is not actually food, I'm not even sure it contains any ingredients derived from food? Same goes for most of the items at McDonalds, KFC, Taco Bell, Wendys, Dunkin Donuts etc. etc.

    When people refer to Shakespeare as "old English." Not correct.

    1) people who put people down or knock ppl for the way they talk. (just because ppl have souther accent doesnt mean they are ignorant)

    2) people who stereotyple people.

    3) racist people.

    When people refer to Shakespeare as "old English." Not correct.

    ‘Fæder ure þuþe eart on heofonum
    si þin nama gehalgod tobecume þin rice gewurþe þin willa on eorðan swa swa on heofonum
    urne gedæghwamlican hlaf syle us to dæg
    and forgyf us ure gyltas swa swa we forgyfað urum gyltendum
    and ne gelæd þu us on costnunge ac alys us of yfele soþlice.’ <<< Old English

    Do you recognise it? If not, try this one:

    ‘Oure fadir þat art in heuenes halwid be þi name;
    þi reume or kyngdom come to be. Be þi wille don in herþe as it is dounin heuene.
    yeue to us today oure eche dayes bred.
    And foryeue to us oure dettis þat is oure synnys as we foryeuen to oure dettouris þat is to men þat han synned in us.
    And lede us not into temptacion but delyuere us from euyl.’ <<< Middle English

    Easier, and perhaps you recognise it now, but only just? Look at the next one:

    ‘Our father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
    Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us this day our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debters.
    And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.’<<<Modern English

    You have just seen a long evolution of the English language. The first is Old English and the most famous literary work written in that form is Beowulf . The Old English extract is, of course, taken from the Bible and is part of the Lord’s Prayer.

    The second passage is from the Wyclif Bible of 1348, two hundred years before Shakespeare, and it is written in what is called Middle English. The most enduring and famous writer of that time is Chaucer.

    The Third is from the King James Authorised Bible and it came out in the same year as The Tempest , in 1611. You have no difficulty with that extract, of course, because it is written in Modern English. You probably find that version of the Bible far easier to read than a Shakespeare text, although the language is the language all English people spoke in Shakespeare’s time. That is because it is not expressed in the concentrated form that poets used. It was conventional to write plays in verse during that time, so you would have the same difficulty with almost all of Shakespeare’s fellow playwrights.

    What makes it difficult isn’t the grammar or the vocabulary as much as the fact that it is written in verse, and therefore most of the words, phrases, sentences and speeches have multiple meanings.

    Great logic, really.
    Not even worth my arguing.
    People die from eating (too much)....
    But that doesn't make God hate food.
    Just saying.
