Pet Peeve - anyone else?

Know way........ Sorry I couldn't resist Sheila

2 questions….. I just have a pet dog… Where does one get one of those ‘peeves?’ And, are they easy to house-train? Best Wishes- Dx

While I am happy that people off all sorts of backgrounds and opportunities can post and share on these forums, I will admit that I probably make a few judgments about people who have poor grammar.  Although I notice the poor grammar or simple spelling mistakes I'm not bothered by the posts.  I think that the forum is a better place for being inclusive, but I am bothered  BY MY OWN FAILURES when I become judgmental.  Then I start to wonder about what sorts of things *I* do (unwittingly, unknowingly, unintentionally) that irritate everyone else or cause them to judge me unfairly.  I certainly know that my weight has caused me to be judged unfairly, so I just take a deep breath and try to discern the meaning of the post.  If, however, the grammar is so bad that I cannot decipher it, I just move on to the next thread.

I get so annoyed when: You hold a door open for someone and they don't bother thanking you or at least making eye contact and giving a quick nod. Someone leaves the cap off the toothpaste.

Please refer to your profile and change "felling" to "feeling" :) 

I was a linguistics major and teach English, so you can imagine how often my skin crawls at some of the things I read. It takes no longer to type a word correctly than it does to type it incorrectly. Sometimes it's a matter of a simple post such as this for those to have a light bulb moment and say to themselves, "Oh, NOW I get it!"
