| BenKenobi88 said: sheesh, calm down alex59, lol. "pissing me off" is just a turn of phrase...it's not meant literally or anything...every language has these. If anything, "pisses you off" should bother you because it ends in a preposition, which is a grammatical no-no. You don't say, "Where did he go to?" You say, "Where did he go?" or "To where did he go?" if you're really picky. EDIT: Um...and abbreviations are legitimate in language..... |
Let's start with the word "Sheesh."
(By the way, when words that do not make sense, sound like other words, that also drives me crazy).
(By the way, "drives me crazy" doesn't make sense. You cannot drive "crazy," because "crazy" isn't tangible. You can drive a car, but you cannot drive a crazy).
Sheesh sounds like "Shhh," "Sheep," "Shishcabob" (I have no idea how to spell shishcabob) ("Shhh" doesn't make any sense. It's not even a word).
Sheesh doesn't make any sense. Who came up with the word? How did the trend of using "Sheesh" even begin? I want to know the name of the idiot who first used the word "Sheesh." There isn't even a true meaning of the word.
Okay, so we've gone through "Sheesh." Next thing that bothers me is when people remove periods from abbreviations. It's bad enough that people are too lazy to type the entire word down, but removing the periods is just worse. The periods is what prevents you from sounding out the abbreviation as it is, and makes you state each letter, individually. For example, "B.C." is pronounced, "Bee See." if you remove the periods from "B.C.," technically, the name is pronounced "Bic." Why not make life nicer, and just write "British Columbia?" By the way, my name is a.l.e.x59, not alex59... Sheesh...
(By the way, I know that the phrase "pisses you off" is not (not isn't) supposed to be meant literally. But still, why do these weird phrases exist? How were they created? And what kind of dumb ass made them?)
Next word is "no-no." Why is the word repeated twice? Once is good enough. How-how do-do you-you like-like this-this?-? (I even wrote the "?" down twice). Once is good enough.
Next word is "Um..." Wait, "Um... Is not even a word.
Last, but not least, why do some words have "..." at the end, and others have "....," or even "........." Three periods is enough, not four, or more (that rhymed).
I'm not insulting you, BenKenobi88, I am (not I'm)Â just insulting the "words that piss me off."
