By request: Your B*tchFest, M'lady!
OK! Chiming in! People (especially on a weight loss site) who don't know the difference and when to use, 'lose' & 'loose'
When my carpoolee doesn't let me know he's getting to work under his own steam and not to pick him up/wait for him
when my supervisor doesn't say one word about a finished project that I have turned in---ever.
there! whew! To whom shall I send my therapy payment?

- Fekkin NEWSPAPERS, ffs, that can't get grammar, punctuation, and syntax correct. It's even worse on their online editions. Does no one proof copy anymore?
- The most egregious split infinitive, IMO, and it crops up all the time these days, is putting "not" in the middle of the infinitive. "I asked him to not interrupt me." Grrrr.
- People who don't know that you use "that" for things, animals, places and "who/whom" for people. As in the next rant:
- Dogwalkers WHO (not "that") don't pick up their dog's poopie. As I'm walking my own dog, poopie bag in hand, I can't count on all fingers and toes the number of droppings we come across. Honestly, in whose (not "who's") world is it OK to let your dog sh*t on someone else's lawn and walk on by?
- And speaking of walking around the neighborhood, would ya POLICE YOUR PROPERTY every so often, people? I can't believe the moldering throwaway newspapers in driveways, empty food wrappers/bags, cigarette packs (really? who smokes anymore?), and other detritus around people's homes. And this is a nice neighborhood! Seriously, people!
Gads, I've needed to get that off my chest forever.
