Does it drive you bat-shit effing crazy when people abbreviate

[Bunny]

et cetera with "ect." instead if "etc." ??????

Nearly puts me over the edge.

[Richardo]

1. Aks me another

:hide:

They usually SAY it that way, too: "ek cetera" :eyes:

[Bunny]

8. It makes me want to claw their eyes out.

And I'm only partly kidding, too!



Gee, maybe I should get some nerve pills or something.

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. ...

[Bunny]

15. Thanks! What's the recommended dose? I'll double that, and

things should improve rapidly.

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. Well, Wile E. took one

and nothing happened. So he took the whole bottle.

And nothing happened.

For a minute.

[Bunny]

19. I think half a bottle should do the trick, then.

[Debi]

2. I like it when they say something is a MUTE point

Yeah, I wish they'd be MUTE about the subject!!!

[Bunny]

9. ARRRRGGGGGHHHH!

That's another one that just kills me. Edited to add: It's MOOT, you dumb fuckers! MOOT! Not MUTE!

Okay, I've had my say.

[Blue-Jay]

3. That one doesn't bother me.

In fact, I can't recall seeing it very often. "Rediculous" drives me up a wall, however.

[Bunny]

11. Yeah, me too, and I've been seeing that so much more lately.

Wonder why? :shrug:

Anyway, I think the National Spelling Bee should be mandatory television viewing for the entire country. A bit extreme, perhaps, but this calls for stern measures.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

4. I am a grammar nazi.

Drives me fucking insane.

:grr::grr:

[billyskank]

7. A grammar fundie, surely?

:P

:hi:

[Bunny]

12. I don't claim grammar perfection by any means, in fact the whole

possessive thing still dazzles me, but there are certain things that just bug the shit out of me!

[Richardo]

23. Ho-GAAAAAAN!!

"Say 'mute' again and it's 30 days in the cooler!"

[GoddessOfGuinness]

5. Not as much as it bothers me when they

say ectcetera...

[Bunny]

13. Ugh.

Shiver. Like nails on a chalkboard.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. Newcuelar nails on the chalkboard, at that!

[Lady Effingbroke]

6. Definately!

Loosers!
:evilgrin:

[Bunny]

14. Hee hee.

Oh yeah!

[lakemonster11]

16. Nah, I figure it's just a typo.

But "loose" instead of "lose" drives me up the wall.

[Bunny]

17. Yes, "loose" is another one. And so widespread.

One of the teacher's comments on my daughter's report card said that my kid "looses" her concentration. This is from a teacher, no less!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

21. Yes and I write out et cetera.

[Bunny]

25. That's the spirit!

:thumbsup:

[Southsideirish]

22. I want to burn them at the stake and dismember them.

[Bunny]

24. That's a good start.

Drawing and quartering might be appropriate for repeat offenders.
