My pet peeves

* People who need to spend hours fishing for the exact change while checking out at the supermarket.
* The use of "winningest".
* Commercial breaks in the middle of sporting events.
* Referees allowing blatant crooked feeds in scrums (what is this, Rugby League?).
* Shop assistants who chat wth their co-workers when I am waiting to be served.
* Paying full toll in the Harbour Tunnel & Bridge even though I am on a motorbike.
* Poor manners, especially the inability to say please and thank you.
* Websites that only work in IE
* "Reality" "TV"
* Clients who don't know what they want (but still want you to do it for them!).

I don't hate cancer.
I believe shakespeare was not afraid to deftly split an infinitive.
Infinitives do not always begin with "to"... Off the top of my head, I can think of bestemmiare, wiederausgraben, encouilir, kataphugein and inseminare as infinitves that do not begin with "to".

I do hate folks who can't figure out what an apostrophe's for.

But Dinger, are those English words?  Translate them to English if they are not.  ALL spanish verbs are infinitives, correr=to run  pintar=to paint lavar=to wash etc etc.


Nevermind, they are normally preceded by "to" though.

MP8 doesn't like you guys.  Who would care for a spider as a pet?  I would have a bat for a pet, they eat all the bugs around your house, it's better then a citronella candle!
