The affect/effect thing annoyed my geography teacher so much in the early years of secondary school that he devoted an entire lesson to getting us all to understand which was appropriate when. Although it could have been to do with the fact that he hated the english teacher and just wanted to undermine her.Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.Comment

I really hate when apathetic people say "I could care less," when what they really mean is "I couldn't care less."
I also hate how common "proactive" has become.

It doesn't matter if it's disputed by wankers, it's been used for decades in the second sense. Both are valid in casual speech.Originally posted by Nostromo
AFAIK, the second sense is still disputed, even though it makes more sense. In French, we say pétition de principe, which comes directly from the Latin petitio principii, which is a lot clearer than "begging the question""The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Nice creative quoting; try "Alright has been in use since the late 19th century; while some authorities still consider it wrong or nonstandard" I don't care if people started going astray a decade ago or century ago.Originally posted by SlowwHand
