Really ironic would have been: "LOL YOUR RETARDED, LEARN HOW TO SPELL!"

Ummm. somewhat unqualified to reply to this because I don't capitalize/spell/punctuate well, but somehow some grammer errors piss me off. So, somewhat hypocritically:

Anytime anyone uses a meaningless stock phrase over and over. I have a coworker who says "Not for nothing" literally 100 times a day. (See i even managed to use literally properly!- Maybe I am qualified to post on this topic). Really, 100 times. Not for Nothing, but I find this annoying.

Even worse- people aren't 'in line' anymore, now every is Online. When did this happen? Like I'm standing literally (!) in a line at Barnes and Nobles to buy Strunk and White and the cashier says "Next person Online, please step up" and I wonder if that's me. Because I am the next person in line, whether or not I'm taking advantage of B&N's wireless internet access. Ya heard? But this has become so prevalant I'm no longer even sure that I'm correct-- is it in line, or was it ever, or is it now and always has been on line?

Some people say "raise" instead of "fold" in places where it's not warranted. That really pisses me off.
