I see BUMP ALOT and i am been series. This is a hugh problem.
To: hardhead
My biggest pet peeve is pointless vanities. :)
I also hate the misuse of "loose" for "lose".
From an issue of rhetoric, I despise "but". It is a weasel word that negates everything said before it. Or in other words, everything before "but" is B.S.

Beeber, stuned, moose, and sentences that end with multiple exclamation points and/or question marks. Everytime I see these, I can't help but to roll my eyes.

I'm particularily tired of "you're a great Amercan" being put on the end of posts at a specific state board. It's just cheesy.

Way too much use of the word "Kerry" -- I'm hoping people stop it real soon now.

Though I have been guilty of it as well, I get annoyed by the LOL, LMAO and others that I can't even figure out.

Make me sick. I ignore all POLL threads by saying I'm ignoring them. That make me mad too!

I hate all capitals. What's wrong with mixed-case?
To: rdb3
Everytime I see these, I can't help but to roll my eyes. Argh! That triple-negative is a pet peeve of mine. Suggest: "I can't help rolling my eyes," or "I can't but roll my eyes."
To: hardhead
Please explain my the phrase "my Beeber is stuned". I have seen the picture of Mr. Beeber. I have asked several people by freep mail, but I have never received a reply. It gives me flashbacks of school and being out of the loop. LOL. :-) Thanks.

I agree. People need to use to, too, lose, loose, etc. in the proper way. Also, USE SPELLCHECK! BTW, I think you meant to say indiscriminate as opposed to indiscriminatory.
