Some companies put their religion right out in the open, and are proud of their identities. Chick-fil-A is infamous for closing on Sundays, and In-N-Out puts Bible verses on its packaging. Interstate Batteries' mission statement states up front that it exists "to glorify God" while selling its products.

That was the most annoying website.

But:

INFAMOUS?

Any eighth grader knows infamous is reserved for heinous crime perpetrators.

HEB is a very good company.

Haven’t bought a Tyson product since the revelation of its ties with Clinton. Religious? I think not.

“Infamous” is one of the most annoyingly mis-used words. It seems to happen more and more frequently. Most Americans are borderline illiterate.

"Chick-fil-A is infamous for closing on Sundays"

A private company that closes on Sunday is now labeled in Business Insider as "infamous"... according to antiChristian hatemongers, Kim Bhasin and Melanie Hicken.

I agree that it is a very annoying site for navigation and content. Original link took me to an ad that didn’t want to load, then to a homepage with buzzword reference to social media, celebrity douchebags, and geek stunts (like not eaing for 100 days).

Yeppirs, the left hates Chick-Fil-A, and they hope that Chick-Fil-A will give in like the Boy Scouts

I can’t count the times I have seen “penultimate” used to mean the best of the best...

To find my most misused word, look up the dictionary definition of the word 'careen'. Then look up the verb form of the word 'career'. Then guess which word 99 percent people who want to describe a zigzagging object use.

If I’m coming home through Fairfield on my way home from a race weekend at Thunderhill, I just have to remember that a meal at Chick-fil-A is not an option. But I can still hit the In-N-Out across the freeway from them.
