                      1. People who use the word 'draw' instead of 'drawer'. Someone said on a thread recently, they had a 'draw full of user ids'. No you ******* don't. It's a drawer !!

                      2. A bloke here at clientco uses the word 'pacific' constantly instead of 'specific'. He says things (ususally at meetings), like, "There's a couple of pacific things we need to discuss)

                      Both of the above make my ******* blood boil

                      Anyone else get upset by things they really shouldn't ????
                      Well done for littering your spelling rant with spelling, gammatical and logical errors of your own, in keeping with established CUK tradition.
