Oh man, why did you have to remind me? We have established Golf Cart Friendly Communities where these old people are allowed to drive golf carts on public streets!

Anybody who doesn't understand that 'loose' and 'lose' have different meanings not being flogged or sent to remedial 5th grade upsets me slightly.

I can't stand when news reporters giving the details of a murder confuse a "pick" and call it a "pick axe."

A "pick" has a round spike at both ends, or a round spike at one end and a flat spike at the other end.

A "pick axe" is an axe with a spike opposite the blade. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

A "pick axe" is more like a fireman's axe. Most of the time when media call a murder weapon a "pick axe" they really mean a "pick", as in a railroad pick, or a mattox pick, or just a pick.

Done ranting.

Anyone in LE is familiar with the common peroneal strike, pronounced per-oh-knee-al. The correct pronounciation, according to my doctor brother is pair-oh-kneel. I will say it the LE way just to bug the shit out of him.

"Laceration" is not what you get if you are cut by a knife or sharp object. A laceration is splitting or tearing of the skin from blunt force, such as a stick or bat. The edges are more irregular and there can be bridging of the skin across the wound. As a former detective, this is one of my pet peeves.

It's peace of mind, not piece of mind. Unless you're Hannibal and having it with a nice Chianti.

Or if you're giving it to someone, then it's piece of mind.

They make traffic fun don't they? Runner up are people driving in the far right lane going 20 over the posted speed limit making it almost impossible for anyone to merge from the on ramp onto the highway.

Can't always blame the drivers - some states actually put stop signs at the end of freeway onramps!

For me it's people leaving an entire syllable out of the word temperature (temp-uh-chur vs. tem-per-a-chur). It's rare to hear it pronounced correctly.
