Re: What makes you annoying?
[ QUOTE ]
1.) I correct, arbitrarily, incorrect grammar. [/ QUOTE ] I changed this on the assumption that you were not meaning to say such a thing as "arbitrary faulty grammar" exists, since that would make absolutely no sense. (That is, incorrect grammar which also possesses the attribute of being arbitrary does not exist. Grammar is either correct or incorrect.) That being the case, the sentence would flow better if a phrase similar to "I correct incorrect grammar arbitrarily" was used; however, "incorrect" should be replaced with a similarly descriptive adjective which is phonetically distinct, as "correct incorrect" sounds terrible with the two similar words next to one another.

Re: What makes you annoying?
I crack my knuckles all the time.
I whistle when I have a song stuck in my head, and I'll do this at the bank or the post office or the poker table or in line at Quiznos. I post too much. I snore.

I do have a counter argument, of course, but will save it because it will spark a long-winded exchange that amuses nobody but you and I -- much like most threads in Poker Legislation.
