The "things I hate" thread

What you're rambling about has less to do with the writing patterns of individuals as opposed to their way of pronouncing certain words or speech patterns. For the record, I contributed "Amber Lamps" because people mistakenly say that instead of "Ambulance."

And since you've ASSUMED wrong this time, you've just made an ass out of yourself. So next time, use critical thinking if you want to come off as being smart instead of being an abrasive jackass.

P.S. Using "LOL" doesn't build credibility on your part when you're contributing to the very thing you're pissing and moaning about.

 

Ever hear of famine and drought??

 

Yes. But what does that have to do with the conversation?

 

When people say 'I seen' it makes me fucking crazy.

That, on top of the other things you ladies are mentioning, generally makes me slightly homicidal. lol

 

In her defense I had no idea you meant ambulance. You should have put both words so people won't have to guess. Guessing games get old.

If you haven't noticed people won't ask when they don't understand you. We assume you will put up a picture of a woman's oozy vagina that needs dire medical attention for some infection. You reap what you sow.

 

I figured it would be pretty much intuitive for anyone who hear this sort of speak. After all, it shouldn't be THAT hard to guess.

 

She was kind enough to put both the correct and incorrect pronunciation. We immediately could get her point without guessing. So much easier and kinder on us. No guessing.

 

Yeah yeah, sure sure. Fine. I'll be sure to do that next time.

 

The word "awesome"

"Awesome" has to be one of the dumbest words to use in the English language. It should have died along with "tubular", "mondo", "rad", and other surfer lingo that was popularized back in the 80s. If you want to describe something great or mind-blowing, avoid using idiotic words like "awesome". It's degrading.

 

Already discussed that a few posts before yours.

 

What would you suggest, my dear? And, just so you know, I'm kinda' likin' "tubular." I think I'll see how many times I can use it in a sentence today. Like, "BBW, your posts are tubular, man." Just for starters.

 

Marvelous, excellent, superb, great, magnificent, powerful, credible, amiable...you know? Words that reflect the intelligence.

 

Amiable instead of awesome?

"Wow! This view is just, is just...amiable!!" I Ummm, no.

 

Fine fine. Replace it with adequate. That's more suitable.

 

Would I rather my boss say:

A) You did a credible job.

B) You did an awesome job.

I choose B


I don't think awesome is an outdated or un-necessary word. It's going to have to stay.

 

Changed up the selection a bit, which would make all the more proper. That's more professional sounding and easier on the ears and mature.

"Awesome" is a less used word in business and in professional areas. Maybe it won't go away casually, but it'll expire its use sometime soon since less people are using it nowadays.

 

Wow! BBW, you're awesome! I mean adequate. :mrgreen:

 

It's a golden shower in these parts.

 

AWESOME!!!

 

Great. Now you can exploit the pet peeve of mine? Impressive.
