    I hate dangling participles. "Looking out the window, it was a beautiful view." for instance. Grr..

    'Hearts and minds' has to be the most annoying phrase I have ever heard! They say it all the time on the news in the UK and it has become the ultimate cliche.

    Weird American names for things like 'Project Iraqi Freedom'. it just makes me want to vomit!

    When people spell sulphur 'sulfur', dont know why, it just pisses me off!

    Apparently, according to American Heritage Dictionary, they are both acceptable spellings.


    Oh! I hate this! Starting every sentence with "I mean ..." (And, of course, ending every sentence with "knowhutumsayin?")

    "So, how does it feel to have just won the Super Bowl?"

    "I mean, yeah, man...ya know? It feels great. knowhutumsayin?"

    "How do you feel your teammates performed tonight?"

    "I mean, they were great, knowhutumsayin...."

    "Did you feel that the team was ready to play? Had confidence they could win from the beginning?"

    "I mean....yeah. knowhutumsayin"

    Any actual term for any sexual organ or position or sexually trasmitted disease. It's hard enough (no pun intended) to take sex seriously but practically impossible to do when the words sound like something out of a cartoon.

    Penis -- this could easily be a dog toy. "Oh, Speedy just loves his squeaky penis!"

    Clitoris -- it sounds like an island off of the coast of Greece. "Archeologist have uncovered remnants of pottery on Clitoris, showing that ancient man was in fact capable of manipulating soft, pliable material to get the results that were required."

    Vagina -- this will be the name of the next big one-word-name R&B star.

    Herpes -- this has to be derived from the Greek god of eruptions.

    I could go on, but I'd secure my place in hell if I were to do so.

    Do you mean ROFLMAO? "Rolling on floor, laughing my ass off"

    The reason you can't figure it out is that you've got it misspelled. It's "ROTFLMAO" -- rolling on THE floor laughing my ass off. Chat room abbreviations do not elide articles, conjunctions, and prepositions as we do in real life. It's just as well that you haven't tried hard enough. You'd look pretty funny with no ass.

    Heh, the person who mentioned "I mean ..." / "...knowwhatI'msayin'?" -- I agree. I hate getting in conversations where every sentence ends with "yeah, you know what I'm sayin', man?"

    How about "period of time," or "have a very pleasant good evening."

    In England 'sulfur' is wrong, yet they have put it wrongly in my school text book. Every time I have a Chem lesson it stares there at me, slowly driving me mad!

    Got another one:

    Britney Spears

    Her name, her picture, her 'music', anything and everything that has to do with her

    But first we have to find a young priest and an old priest, "The power of Christ compels you..."

    ~Raithere

    P.S. Sorry to rant, she has an album or something coming out and I saw her new ad, shrieked like a woman and threw a shoe at the television. Damn Britney Spears broke my TV.

    Hi
    I think the word "outlaw" should be outlawed or those who make laws that announce their opponents outlaws, even if they are right, should be outlawed.
    quack-quack
