Okay, make it a quartet."I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George Carlin -
Now that I think of it, you know what else really bugs me? The use of nouns as verbs. The biggest offender is "impact" -- as in, "The war will impact oil prices" -- but that battle's probably already lost. But I draw the line at "memo"; I'm a gentle man, but I just want to throttle every single person who has ever said they would "memo me" about something.

I agree. It's just alot easier to say, "w ankers."

I personally hate people using English words in the middle of Chinese sentences when there are perfectly good Chinese words/phrases just to !$&#@ show off, more than I hate people who show off their French.Originally posted by Rufus T. Firefly

How about "post me"?“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

The one thing that annoys me is when people mix up the verbs 'to learn' and 'to teach'. For example when someone says 'He learned me that' instead of 'He taught me that'...annoying or what?
