[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2520707, member: 423"] Seriously! It's not like you even have to walk ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE STORE anymore. Not like that's a big deal either. People who can't use the right words or generally butcher the english language. Not that it's easy, but it's communication. It annoys me when people take for granted how important being literate is. IE: If your righting a sentence about you're new whatever, and you can't write it with the correct words, or grammar. I'll be honest, I bend the rules at times. Especially in writing: for effect. Or to annoy others. I say things like "these ones" or "those ones" in full knowledge that it's wrong. But it irks people, so I do it anyways. Oklahoma does have a lot of awful roads, drivers, and a ton of incredibly stupid, or superstitious, people. People who think the road is theirs, and everyone else can just deal with it. In other words, this: Butchering the written language. Excessive ellipses, random capitalization, and misused commas and quotation marks. And a selfish driver. "I'm in the left lane, so you can go around." Like the guy with the handicap sign in his truck yesterday that parked across the handicap space and the regular space next to it. If the right lane is rough: drive in the left until someone is coming up behind you, get over until they pass, then hop back into the left lane. So I think I can sum up my pet peeves with this: People who are lazy, selfish, and ungrateful. [/QUOTE]
