Time for another....Little issues that annoy the hell out of you thread!

[Xaneden]

People who never say thank you or even acknowledge the fact that you've held a door open for them... Call it old fashioned if you will, but it just seems bad manners to me.

[mr_anderson187]

people in clubs who try to push in beside you or in front of you while you are waiting at the bar to be served, blatant impatientce, gets right on my nerve tbh. also waiting in clubs to get served when people either side of you have been served about 15 minutes ago, had to wait on my mate at the bar last night and this kept happening

meh...

EDIT, thread merged eh? confusing, i think so...

[autopilot]

What the heck happened to this thread? It started out as a 'things you hated about 2005'

The mods merge it with another thread or something?

[Elmo]

chav's

&

computer geeks who hate chav's

people that seem completely inept at using apostrophes.

what, belonging to a chav, is it that you find annoying?

[Emzay]

People (like for example, my flatmates) who continue to whinge about their weight yet live on a diet of frozen and ready-made *****. Ofcourse you're gunna be fat if you keep eating such vulgar 'food' with enough salt n fat to feed an army. Learn to cook with real ingredients ffs. *ahem*

mgh0- a different topic altogether mate

maybe people should STOP skimming posts and re-read them

your on about Lifestyle- this topic is regarding world events within 2005 and NOT things that happen within your life...

I.E.- celeb Mishaps
-World disasters
-annoyances within culture of the UK

and please change the topic to the original idea please

I really think you need to get out more.

[Xaneden]

Also Vincent, wasn't the Tsunami on Boxing Day of 2004?

[Elmo]

I really think you need to get out more.

MORE?! christ, i'd never be home if i was out any more than i already am. It's just blatant ignorance not being able to use apostrophes correctly. An apostrophe is used when there's a partial or whole word missed out:

ie. do not => don't

or to show that something is possessive (i.e something belongs to it)

i.e The Chav's sovreign ring is gold and tacky.

NOT FOR MAKING SOMETHING PLURAL

Or to show something is plural, i.e a's = belonging to a, or, many a's

no.

more than one car = cars

more than one A = As

i.e. i got 4 As in my exams.

an apostrophe is never used to make something plural.

people that get hung up on gramatical mistake's <-

And any laws that taketh away our civil liberties for some security.

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

no.

i have a question for you:

Consider the following sentence:

Sentences using plural nouns without quantifying adjectives or phrases such as "all," "most," "some," etc., are vague.

This sentence serves as its own example. Did I mean "all sentences," "some sentences," or what?

Is there any language that assumes a default quantifier when none is used?

[Stoo]

Maybe it's environmentally specific - in an internet environment the default quantifier is applied specifically to vast over-generalisations to enable flame-wars

[herulach]

no.

more than one car = cars

more than one A = As

i.e. i got 4 As in my exams.

an apostrophe is never used to make something plural.

More than one A is indeed As, but more than one a is a's

The stupidity of the general public. For example, I just heard this on the radio:

"police are investigating a case after a man was conned out of money for a camcorder.... the man was approached by two men in a white peugeot 406 who offered him what was supposedly a JVC camcorder for &#163;150, saying it was an unwanted Xmas present. the man paid &#163;75 and later discovered it was just a brick wrapped in newspaper"

I mean, seriously, how stupid would you have to be to part with your cash without even checking things first? How utterly retarded would you be to hand over cash for something wrapped in newspaper? I hear stuff like this and a little part of me dies inside... it's like the human race is doomed.
