      In that case why don't you just revert to your roots and scream EXTERMINATE!!!!

      One of my current pet hates is the replacement of the letter L with a W in the pronunciation of some words. Griwed instead of grilled, muwti instead of multi, you get the picture.

      Another is the expansion of txtspeak into the written medium, U is NOT and acceptable substitute for You, there are many more including using THERE instead of their and they're.

      Front fog lights on cars appear to have become a fashion accessory utilised by the brainless and a substitute for headlights in many cases, I find them rather uncomfortable.

              The contractor sat near to me has just said it AGAIN!! What increases the annoyance is that she says it with such mis-placed confidence and is seemingly UTTERLY OBLIVIOUS to the fact that she is using the wrong goddamn word!!

                    Just ask where specifically in the Pacific was she talking about.
