Well, basically, that was like you know, complete denial of everything I always said. Like, go figure. Fail.
See my secret is knowing I shouldn't talk like that, and then talking like that in order to tempt you sorely to slap me. It would only happen once.
I both love and hate "LOL". It's SO easy to use, but also shouldn't be used as much as it is...I don't know. I try not to, but I always end up using it anyway.
I usually use LOL in a joking kind of sense with my bros. They'll say something funny and I'll go "Lawl" and that gets them going. Its fun, but I don't say it in normal conversation. There are a few words that are annoying to me, even though I don't really dislike them. I am one of those people who constantly get confused about whether or not e or i goes first on these words: weird, believe, shield, and all the ones who have e and i together. Drives me nuts.
Silly Canadian. Honestly, Zed sounds like a guy's name to me. Like Jed or Ted. Zee... I don't know. It just sounds right for the letter Z. Plus, it's easier to say, which isn't always a bad thing.
I hate the word and. And the word 'the.' But most of all I hate "said." I think I've used it once in my 4,000 words of chapters 1-4 on my new novel. I'm pretty proud of it, actually. Dialogue is the whole thing, too....
I think said it fine as long as not over used, honestly my biggest pet peeve lately is repetition. I find myself CONSTANTLY pointing this out to new writers.
Yes you do. All the time. Every single time! No, actually I'm annoyed that I repeat adjectives twice in like a paragraph. I correct myself most of the time, but I really don't have to that much because I don't do it that often. But when I do... Juliet catches me. I also hate the word nonsequitor.
Nonsequitor means an argument or statement that has nothing to do with the actual argument at hand. "You faild your test!" "I have a dog named Toby, so sorry!" << Nonsequitor.
Someone said it on the front page. I don't like Americanisms when used in UK (well, English-speaking UK) spelling. It's pretty funny, especially as it doesn't bother me, usually, since I'm a native Gaelic-speaker, but it gets annoying very quickly. I've put books down instantly if I've seen it and they're from a British author. Whenever I see an advert with the word 'fragrance' the magazine or whatever goes in the bin (if it appears on Gaelic television, which it doesn't, BBC Alba would get a petition winging its way to its head offices ). Other than that, I hate no words, really. English pronounciation is strange, but that's an issue for my readers to deal with, I just write.
Herb has to be my special word, it's rather odd how a large body of water can change the way an ''h" sounds. Or how suddenly allot of words have lost letters when they crossed the pond. It's like Sam lost them on his search for Plymouth. Which incidently started in Plymouth, how weird is that!? Meh i rant too much.
I think that "denial" in that phrase actually refers to a psychological stage, and isn't a misuse of the noun-form of "deny." Freud? I hate the word "won't." The contraction should be "willn't", damn it!
I don't hate the word, but I'm tired of it -- the word 'amazing' is now amazingly annoying to me. The reason being that it's so overused by several of the columnists from ESPN. I have to turn the other cheek every time I see the word being used.
delicious I work at a BBQ restaurant and see over weight, white trash, nasty people gorging themselves on 'all you can eat' night. Thats the image that comes to mind when i hear some one use the word delicious...
I think that the word 'absolutely' is overused these days. For example "Have you had a good day?" "Oh absolutely!" Another pet hate of mine is the word 'but' in news reports. They tell you about a car accident and then go on to say "................. but no one was killed." It makes them sound so disappointed and it really gets on my nerves. I guess that people walking away from this sort of thing is bad news (?). Other than that it'll be the missing letter t in so many words these days. I even wrote a poem about it!
'Bureaucracy' - quite apart from the images it conjures up, it's the only one I can never properly spell.
Hate would be too strong, but when I see it in stories I get annoyed: Mused. he mused...she mused...they all mused and mused too often Terry
