OT: What words or phrases annoy you?

Tap instead of click.App instead of program.Fewer instead of less (even though more has no equivalent).Slowed up instead of slowed down (slow is less speed, so must be down).People who write computer programs that say "hello world" and nothing else - clearly that program doesn't have the intelligence to say hello.Bothering to distinguish between burned and burnt.Forward instead of forwards.

Tolerant my ass. We don't call them Armalites in this country but we've got a lot of them.

WE all have a different opinion to the masses, and the troll part is whether we go on about it a lot. Obviously tolerance only goes so far if the same stance is continually repeated over and over then I guess some get fed up with it. However in the end we all can just press next and the few electrons wasted are not an issue. Brian

The more the better. An armed society is a polite society.

I've found that to be true. Our BLM demonstration was very subdued. Other than playing some inspirational music the rednecks in the pickups didn't bother the demonstrators and they peacefully stayed on the courthouse lawn.
