Words I hate

[Redmanfms]

Yes, spelling/grammar Nazis are a pain and making an irrelevant conclusion about an argument based on grammatical errors is silly. I agree.

It's not a "word" you hate, but a tactic; the use of logical fallacies in arguments, specifically irrelevant conclusion. On that I can agree. It extends far beyond just internet discussions, and is the primary reason why I ditched research science in preference for engineering (well, that and money).

I just hate silly sounding words. "Shottie" is particularly egregious, since it is the same number of letters as the word it is meant to replace, has the same number of syllables, and sounds stupid as hell.

"Price point". Stop saying that. It's just a "price", or maybe a "price range".

I hate people that put a lot of weight into spelling and grammar on the internet,because you know, if I use the wrong "their", you just won't be able to understand me. Communication is lost!!!!!!

I hate the ****ing word "chopper" when refering to a politically incorrect rifle.

Same thing with "hooah". Hooah is ****ing gay, and the sound that braincells make when they die. At least the Marines' "Oorah" has a history and actually means something.

It is a Ranger thing, dating back to WW2. At least we said it right. The Army took it and messed it up, like the black beret.

My most hated phrase is... Another tool for the toolbox.

incorrectly using 'all intensive purposes' instead of 'all intents and purposes', 'calvary' instead of 'cavalry'. 'heigth' instead of 'height', 'orientate' instead of 'orient'.

I hate the word "bra" or "brah" as a variant of "bro".

"Hey brah, what's going on?"

You being stupid is what's going on.

I think most just want to see proper grammar used here because it helps to keep the site fundamentally sound while also encouraging a degree of order. Not to mention that it helps better convey ideas and information.

As far as getting upset or irritated over an inadvertent spelling mistake, well let's just say that I suspect many here don't because they have other real issues to deal with in life.
