  John Doe

  1. "I'm sorry, but. . ." Users of this phrase are anything but sorry. What they mean is "I'm an asshole. Now I'm going to prove it. . ."
  2. "I just threw up in my mouth a little bit." Users of this phrase are using vulgarity for vulgarity's sake, and it ain't the fun kind of vulgarity.
  3. "Talk to the hand, 'cause the face ain't listening." Fran Dresser. Need I say more?
  4. "Cool beans." No reason on this one--it just molests my craw.

  Yours?

  I'm sorry but the phrase "John Doe" is just so unimaginative and vanilla that it sticks in my craw. It makes me throw up my cool beans in my mouth a little bit.

  I have a few words that annoy me:

  • The superfurlous use of 'Actually'
  • Using the word 'evidently' when there is no evidence to support their statement. The correct word is 'apparently'.

  And the phrase 'It's always in the last place you look' YOU RECKON!?!! OMG SO INSIGHTFUL

  I have no ideal why you let these things effect you so much for.

  The word you're searching for is "affect," and I don't let them affect me. They annoy me. Annoyance is within a standard array of human emotion and experience. In fact, if nothing annoys you, you have no soul.

  Don't be so willy nilly, effect was just fine in that sentence I think it was much better then affect.
