YANBU. My current pet hate is people who don't know when to use fewer and when to use less.

ExitPursuedByAKoalaBear · 31/08/2014 21:47

You are absolutely NOT being unreasonable.

MammaBearonstrike · 31/08/2014 21:50

YANBU! It is definitely the worst crime. Even worse than one of my pet hates, which is the misuse of, "Your" and "You're". Grrr...

ExitPursuedByAKoalaBear · 31/08/2014 21:51

Fellow bear. Happy.

YAnbu. My other current pet peeve is losing vs loosing. Everyone seems to use the former now: 'I'm loosing so much weight'. "I'm loosing my mind.' Drives me nuts!!!

butterfliesinmytummy · 31/08/2014 21:52

Yanbu but then again, I don't like engaging with posters who forget to use quotation marks Wink

My iPad puts apostrophes in my possessive 'its'
It really does. I don't mind having my own mistakes corrected but I'm not having people think I make that one!

Stealthpolarbear · 31/08/2014 21:53

William a similar one

"Aaaaand...breath"

Icimoi · 31/08/2014 21:53

YA definitely NBU.

Any job applications I see that contain this go straight into the bin.

trixymalixy · 31/08/2014 21:54

YANBU

Mintyy · 31/08/2014 21:54

yabu.

Yanbu to find it irritating, but yabu to write off people who are less well educated than you.

Scabetty · 31/08/2014 21:54

Having given this some thought I really couldn't care fewer.

everydayvalue · 31/08/2014 21:56

Really?

What a fucking horrible place this is.

Nomama · 31/08/2014 21:56

Well, I woulda said you was BU. But that woulda been before I read the last set of free writing papers we use as part of our interview process.

I despair...

Kyyria · 31/08/2014 21:57

I want to punch people who put 'ect' rather than 'etc'

Stealthpolarbear · 31/08/2014 21:59

A little extreme maybe

everydayvalue · 31/08/2014 22:00

I've not been on MN for a few months, now I remember why.

NickNackNooToYou · 31/08/2014 22:02

I think there are worse things...

However I do think the incorrect use of your and you're should have greater punishments.

ExitPursuedByAKoalaBear · 31/08/2014 22:02

I trust education is not responsible.

And yep. Tis shit here.

Scabetty · 31/08/2014 22:08

RonaldMcDonald · 31/08/2014 22:08

Wit ya

TongueBiter · 31/08/2014 22:08

I heard a teacher tell his class he was expecting their "bestest" work. Same teacher also looked very pleased with himself for asking for capital letters on country names - "These are called PRONOUNS."

Spectacular moments ....

everydayvalue · 31/08/2014 22:08

Full of up their own arse posters. As it ever was.

Think I'll bugger off again.
