Another thing that "pisses me off" is the latter half of the title of this thread. There's a name for weird sentences like "pisses me off." I forgot what that name is, but weird sentences like that "piss me off." Does it even make sense? Is the sentence really blasting me off into the sky by a mighty shot of urine? No! So why the fuck does the sentence exist? Sentences that don't make sense, "piss me off!"
All languages have so many flaws...
I think "estimate" means that you are approximating something based on some information that you have, while "guesstimate" means you just pulled it out of your ass.
Don't get so pissed off, Alex. :)
EDIT: "Would of" instead of "would have." Just say "would've" if you want to say it the way it sounds in your head, at least you'll be right.
Sup, I'm here to give ya dawgs the 411: this topic is hella lame.

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.....

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
1337. Every time someone says it, I break something. Usually that person if I am within range.

1. Sup? Why do I keep thinking "7UP" when I see "Sup?" It's not even a word. It is an over simplified, abbreviation of the phrase, "What is up?"
What is up? --> What's up? --> Whats up? --> Wuts up? --> Wussap? --> Sup? --> Up?
2. I'm? Who abbreviated words like "I'm," "they're," and "aren't?" Why are people too lazy to type phrases like "I am," "they are," and "are not?" Like what the fuck? It takes 0.25 seconds longer to type "won't," than "will not," and looks twice as nice, and professional. Also, why can "will not" be abbreviated to "won't," and "wont?" How hard is it to add a stupid comma between the "n," and "t," never-the-less, type both words in full length?
I am --> I'm --> Im
3. Ya? You mean "Yeah." Is it that hard to type "e," and "h?" Just because the "e," and "h," are useless fucks, does not mean that you should ignore them.
Yeah --> Yah --> Ya (Ye)
4. Dawgs? Abbreviations are stupid, and lazy, but this? This is the complete reverse! So that must be a good thing, right? No... It is not... Why? Because even though "dawg" is longer than "dog," it looks incredibly retarded. Also, we are not "dawgs," so why did you call use "dawgs?" We are human-beings. I forgot what the unabbreviated form of "isn't is. Isn't that sad? Actually, no, it's not sad. I'm not sad right now. WTF? "WTF" doesn't even make any sense.
Dawg --> Dog
5. 411? I wont even begin to state why that is wrong. It doesn't even make any sense. It is a phone number for crying out loud. By the way, even "By the way," doesn't make sense. I'm not by anything. "Crying out loud" does not even make any sense. I am not crying out loud. I am so used to all of the abbreviations, and sentences, that do not make any sense, that even I find it hard to not use them in my posts.
411 --> 0 (operator)
5. Hella? Another word, that is not abbreviated, but bothers me as if it were. Since when is there an "a" at the end of "hella?" It looks like a regurgitated way of saying, "Helena," which is name.
Hella --> Hell

Er... I don't know if you pay attention to what Bod says, but even if you don't, it should have been obvious that he was joking. Only Chad Warden be that ballin.
