What Grinds Your Gears? :) - Page 23

愛 · 05-08-2012, 04:58 PM

People who only talk about sports grinds my gears. I suppose the same can be said about me, who only talks about video games and technology, but surely there's something with more substance to discuss.

Is it the word versus pronounced "verse" or "verse-is"?

Do you need the word "at" at the end of this sentence:
"This is the restaurant where my wife like to eat at."

Is it pronounced "participate," "paticipate," or "praticipate"?

people who dont show common courtesy at a gas station... no need to block two pumps, make it impossible for people to get around you or not pull up to the first pump making it so the next guy has to back in to get his gas...

whats really bothering me right now is how my father really doesn't respect my sisters and I as adults. I love my father very much but he is very traditional and old fashioned and in many ways still treats each of us to verying degrees as kids. I hate how he embarrasses me infront of company. He'll confront me about personal stuff right infront of guests and then proceed to lecture me like a kid in front of people. There is no need. If I have a problem I talk to him about it in private, not infront of people, because I have respect for him. I wish he would show me the same courtisy but he often doesn't.

Sometimes I think it is just a power trip on his part because he will become very demanding over trivial things just to get us to do what he wants at that moment. My older sister was running late for an appointment and he was parked infront of her, she asked him to move his car. He refused to budge until she had cleared the dinner table of the plates even though I, who was not going any where, could have done it myself. He told me to stay put, because he specifically wanted my sister to do it. For no other reason than because she was the one he wanted to do it. The whole situation was horriable. This sort of thing happens fairly regularly to my sisters and I. Sometimes it would be something small that we said or did that displeases him and suddenly he'll make it into something big, and if we fight him on it or become defiant, things can escalate pretty fast in unpleasant ways. I love my father, and he is cool and modern in many ways, but I really wish he would let go of this old fashioned power trip mentality he has.

Well, he is a parent, and parents have a hard time treating their grown adult children as adults. I think it's a symptom of not wanting to let go when he should. My parents are like that sometimes as well, but I wouldn't trade them for the world. It's a natural thing.

I don't like it when gringos like me try to pronounce Spanish words in pitch-perfect Spanish. It's gratuitous and a little bit condescending. ("Look at me! I know your lingo!")

Why not be etymologically correct across the board?

There also happens to be a gazillion different dialects of Spanish. People in Spain sound different from people in Mexico, or in Bolivia, or Argentina, etc. Any Spanish speaker would be happy enough to be able to understand what you're saying.

Grown men constantly wanting the Ninja Turtles to be portrayed as ''mean, ninja badasses'' so they can feel better about their hobby. Lord forbid if they act like teenagers or eat pizza.

Anyone who uses the term ''true fan'' or ''casual fan''.

*Candy Kappa* · 05-11-2012, 04:31 AM

Lords forbid they should have some Ninjutsu in a film with ninja in the title.

That Drizzt haven't gotten a film or a mini series is gear grinding

Jet Pack comics continually creating $25 variants for books that really don't need variants.

Didn't stop them from liking everything else before. Not like the comics were accurate or anything.
