Pet Peeves!!!

I've had to do it in the past, when we where arguing over Crush and Bounce, because you didn't seem to understand "My Opinion", because I like them.

no if you remember and look it up you'll see that i never told you to use it, but that people were telling me to say IMO i don't like the new stuff

i refused

people from france and edinburgh

girls who act like guys with regards to going out and getting drunk all the time, it's just not the done thing.

people who disagree with me

Oh my gosh! You've noticed it too. Jon TOTALLY has a Southern accent at times. I'm not talking West Virginia accent here, but sometimes, especially on stage, he has a Southern drawl. But Jon speaks differently now than he used to. You listen to those OLD interviews and he had such a Jersey twang. Most of the time in interviews he has a complete lack of an accent (as professional speakers/actors should).

On the subjects of pet peeves and word butchering, I HATE HATE HATE when Richie says wanTED. It drives me up a wall. I also hate to hear the following: CathoLICism, ChiCARgo, HOTlanta, and KuboTO for KuboTA. There are more that I can't think of off the top of my head.

My other pet peeves are people who wear fragrance and when someone puts a roll of toilet tissue on "backward" which I define as having it roll out behind the roll, or close to the wall. It should roll over and not be near the wall.

Lots of things. But off the top of my head, people who don't use real words when posting messages. For example, "2day" for "today", "l8r" for "later", etc. Drives me nuts!

I used to say "ChiCARgo", all the time, Becky. It's taken me forever to learn to pronounce it correctly.

CathoLICism

i don't get this one... maybe i'm reading it wrong but why does that sound incorrect?

The C loosed the K sound when you add the "ism" and it should roll off the tongue like caTHOLicism.

I don't like that either, maybe because i can be slow at things like that. The first time i see some new abbreviation, i'm sitting at the computer looking at the screen, with a dumbstruck look on my face for about an hour until i figure out something like IMO - took me forever.

Rap is a big pet peeve of mine...i can't stand it ... but to everyone who is a fan of rap, my bad ( sorry, Mike - i couldn't help it )

Rap sucks.

Plus, it is taking over the world.

I wonder if I could be a rapper and make lots of money. Talent isn't really necessary!
