    my peeve is the name "taco" referring to our Tacomas. Stop, focus, and contemplate the idea that you're too lazy to add the "muh" at the end? C'mon it aint even a cute term. IT'S FOOD.
    Also, I hate when people put a comma where it does no good such as "our Tacoma's" in the plural sense. It's "Tacomas" because it's not your "Tacoma's" fault you're illiterate:D

    I use my tablet normally so I give no fucks when I use less than perfect English because it takes forever to type. My grammar is terrible any who but, doesn't mean I'm unintelligent.

    Saying "the thing of it is" after explaining something and then telling why what you said is false or wrong or incorrect.

    YOU KNOW WHAT GRINDS MY GEARS?
    Gas pumps that ask if you want if you want a receipt, and give you the two options, "Yes" or "No, Thanks"
    Gas pump, if you were a real person then yes, I'd be happy to carry out a polite conversation with you. But you are not, and I'll be damned if I'm going to say thanks to a machine. Give me that receipt

    People that use 'myself', especially in interviews on TV. Such as "Joe and myself went to the door". No, moron, you mean 'I'. Using 'myself' incorrectly makes you look even stupider than most.

    Or, here in SoCal within the hockey community, people saying "eh?" like they're Canadian. Brutal.

    When in Hawaii, you can't actually order a "Hawaiian" pizza by that name, because it will confuse them.

    You must ask for a "pig and pine"

    and then say "alakawakamakikikapupukamanawannapiitb"
