    Chinzy - Like nails on a chalkboard!


    And any sentence that ends in a preposition. Never end your sentence with at. (A guy here at work does that all the time. Sounds so unprofessional to tell a customer "Let me go check where that orders at".)

    but... but.... that sentence ends in at.



    I'm going to note it down for future reference regarding self-contradictory sentences. It's a really good one. I like stuff like that.

    My mom said "boobette" ( in reference to my nonexistent breasts) ONE time when I was eight....

    And it STILL infuriates me. It makes me want to punch her in the month. Every time I think of it.

    When people use the word "yous" - as in "When are yous going to go to the store?" Also, when I hear non-southern people say "y'all." Just doesn't fit.

    Oh and another grammar pet peeve - when people use "I" when it should be "me" to sound more intelligent. The rule for that is if you remove the other person from the sentence, would you say "I" or "me" - for example..."This is a picture of me and Tom"...if you remove Tom, you would say, "This is a picture of me," not "This is a picture of I." Soooooo all of those pictures posted on FB or wherever that say, "Mom and I at the beach" are WRONG!!!!!! (Because you wouldn't say, "I at the beach.") Sorry - but that bugs me SO badly. Good day.

    I generally seem to be more disturbed by phrases...

    push present
    furkid
    doggie mom/dad
    "TTC" (trying to conceive is fine)
    yummy mummy
    MILF

    But mostly, I just can't stand bad spelling and mispronunciation. My spelling pet peeve is 'defiantly' instead of definitely. When people say 'chipoltay' instead of chipotle I come unhinged.

    Almost anything that's been colloquially shortened:

    delish
    vacay
    fab

    You get the idea.
