but that has reminded me of another hate..

grammar queens, id probably add them into that new soft culture i was ranting about.

 

I agree with you, 'grammar queens' are annoying. That raises two questions for me.

 

How bad can the grammar be before it annoys you, and you not be a grammar queen? 

 

Are there any grammar mistakes that annoy you?

There are also benign words that annoy me for some reason. "Groceries" and "squat" sound kind of disgusting to me for some weird reason. The Romanian word for sausage also makes me want to puke.

Because its "Gross Errys" Pizza Place.

And Squat sounds like Squit, and Shit, makes you envisage squatting... to take a shit.

 

My personal favourite 'disguisting' word is Plunge.

 

Funnily enough though, I'm an English Degree Graduate but I love using ir regardless in conversation and don't really care or get triggered unless the butchery of the English is quite severe. XD

Monty Python explained this many years ago. It sounds like you dislike Tinny words. You should try to use more Woody words.

Most words that have already been mentioned tend to zone me out and I don't pay attention. Privilege/guilt I see come up a fair bit on facebook (fucking hate FB) and all the rest of it.

 

Barbaric use of the Queens English I only find acceptable in chat/text messages, however do appreciate it can be used on forums if someone is posting in a rush, just not in serious posts or something serious in general.

 

Buzzwords seem to be the down fall of society, the latest word I've come across is "gammon" which I do find slightly amusing atm.

I tend to cringe at people using autism/aspergers as an insult.

 

Autism being used as some sort of scale in general is rather callous.

Pejorative as a word is far to fancy for public consumption, can you included a trigger warning next time.

Well, PC Master Race and Peasant annoy the He'll outta me, because I play primarily on consoles.

 

That's not what PCMR nor peasants mean. Source : https://pcmasterrace.org/history

Those are just elitist idiots using it as an excuse to be even bigger idiots.

"After mastering its internal divisions, The PC Master Race has proceeded step by step to cast off its enslavement. Nevertheless, the console peasant capitalists in connection with women and minorities in EA and Activision have successfully roused the world democracies against PC Gaming"

 

Geez, they're really laying it on thick here.

I'm wearing a literal fedora while reading and it feels like I'm wearing several stacked on top of one another.

 

I have very strong opinions on this subject, but I've found that other people have already expressed practically the same in a much more concise manner than I would have; so I don't think I need to regurgitate redundant points, as that would be a pointless recap.
