The voices in your head don't count Mitch!

As for Grrrr - People who overuse the word banter and who shorten words such as 'beaut' 'amaze' etc. I realise I commit crimes against the English language daily but the next person to reply to me with 'totes' is possibly gaining an injury.

My sisters response was to say 'language evolves' whilst referencing Shakespeare. She's getting disowned.

Ok I feel better now.

Seeing as its already been highlighted I might as well comment.
I don't think punctuation matters as much as being understood
Punctuation mearly helps that along

Just for once, I'd like to read a Fantasy book with a warrior elite whose bodies have been ruined by years of abuse, overtraining, stupid training and poor diet!

'Phred watched as the 20 year olds from elite warriors of the Khravangast hobbled into the great hall. Their fingers and hands crippled with arthritis from breaking bricks, their knees, shins and feet ruined from long hours practicing the kicking martial art Trrhandeekhnerhaedo, their arms hanging limply by their sides, unable to be lifted overhead due to shoulder impingements caused by overuse and their lips covered in sores from their diet of poor gruel, lacking in vitamin C'!

I know this is unlikely to ever happen, but a little bit of reality in my Fantasy would make me a very happy bunny!

In some of the books by David Gemmel with the character Druss in his later years he suffers lots of these problems, which is a nice change, if you're not familiar and want to read let me know and I'll find out the exact book with Druss as an old veteran in for you =)

Someone jumped on the hood of my truck monday night while I was in Ju-Jitsu. They left a nice footprint on the hood, and I was parked under a streetlight, 15yrds from security cam pointed right at my truck. Just got off the phone with the detective. He claims to have requested the footage from the school. But since he didn't know anything about the case, like what time it happened, where the truck was parked in the lot, the size of footprint(deff. an adult, not a grade schooler as he suggested) I am not holding my breath that he is going to do anything about it! AAARRRRGGGG!

Crappy customer service. I realise that occasionally orders can get mixed up but when it happens that person's order should go to the top of the queue and they shouldn't still be waiting for it when everyone else on the table has finished eating. How freaking long does it take to cook a stupid burger, some chips and some onion rings? Certainly not over 30 minutes!

I am now boycotting all Wetherspoon's pubs!

I ripped the handle off a bag I only just bought last week to carry my extra kit around the gym. It wasn't really suited to carrying heavy food or Oly style clean technique. Damn you Aldis! (and Adidas, for a substandard bag)
