"You've gotten angry with me on a few occasions."

Yeah. Most things that get under my skin have to do with language.

I consider it a precious, divine, gift. I don't like to see it treated disrespectfully.

I can forgive people for making mistakes. Lord knows, I make 'em.

I just get a little huffy when I detect an attitude of indifference, or slovenliness about the thing that elevates us above the animals.

Lying, especially, really fries my butt.

I've seen you too take the liberty to mangle the language. Is that called poetic liberty?
