I have a new pet peeve. What is yours?

Here is the truth about Captain Grammar. Jason from the Embalmed and I were talkin' one night and he came up with the idea. So I created Captain Grammar and then I gave him the password. I have no idea who does it now, but that's the roots! He changed the password and I couldn't sign back on.

Guilty as charged Kevin.

My new pet peeve is the word "ain't". I seriously wish people would quit using the word. I agree with Kevin also, the internet acronyms are pretty annoying.

ain't means am not. So you can correctly say "I ain't going!"

Yes, but it is improper grammar. I don't care what the dictionary says now; it is not a word, and never has been one.

I always assumed the corred way to say that with a contraction is "I'm not going!"

It's a variation.

I thought there were more than two in the Grammar "brotherhood". Of
course, it was quite some time ago that it was discussed, so I may be remembering it incorrectly.

Yeah, no $hit ... I stabbed myself Christmas day getting a fü©king Dora the Explorer doll out of a box. I was using my brother-in-law's pocket knife to saw some of the plastic zip ties off and ... BAMM ... shoved that blade right into my thumb.

(I handed the pocket knife back still covered with blood 'cause I'm so street)

One I've been hating on frequently as of late has been the plastic wrappings you have to peel off on new CD's, blank cassette and VHS tapes. If you don't have a sharp object around to cut through the outside wrappers, you're in for a battle to open these products!

People who pull up to the menu at McDonald's and don't know what they have!!???? Come on! How long you been eating there??
Or asking ,"What all is on your Big Mac??"

or multiple orders and wanting them separated the totals...and special request!!!...Should have went in..Its fast food at a drive in...if you want to hold up the line, Go In!!

Also I drive the Turnpike daily..People who pull into the hammer lane in front of you so they don't have to follow truckers and when they see the tunnels they slow down and the trucks are passing us on the right and we can't cross the line!! Know wonder we have road-rage!!

Yes! And it's even worse if the CD's in a digi-pack or slip case, because if you're like me, you don't want to harm the case at all.

I have another pet-peeve. Pedestrians that walk like idiots in parking lots. God that pisses me off!

It's almost like they are saying, "C'mon and hit me. I don't care." Just because you have the right away doesn't mean that you should abuse it.

I hear you with the cd and dvd labels, I swear they use super glue on those things.
