Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

I cud.

 

I thought you were an owl.

 

They actually write ate instead of eat.

Example
If I had ate, I wouldn't be hungry.

 

Seeing people astonished when a shark appears in the ocean where they intended to swim.

 

When driving in right lane, and get trapped behind a city bus, at a bus stop. As if it can’t be seen a block ahead.

 

I dunno. The audacity of modern-day sharks.

 

Is that even legal? Like, I have literally never seen or heard about that.
Is that laziness or just wanting to be rude?

 

If I had *eaten...

Ate is simple past tense and cannot be paired with the auxiliary verb.

 

Why do they write or talk that way?

 

People wanting to go to Mars to live underground.

 

No idea. Had ate, had wrote, had ran are everywhere on the internet. Verb tense and mood is dissolving. The odd part for me is that I.E. languages usually show a trend away from the synthetic and toward the analytic, which simply means away from more complex forms where words change their spelling and sound, and toward less complexity, but more rigid word order to account for the erosion of word forms.

The conflating of simple past with past participle is, technically, a more complex (though much less informative) form.

 

They are swimming on its dinner plate!

 

Had I dun et....

 

Yep. We take their fish, pollute their home, and hunt them...then we get angry when we get bitten by sharks!

 

When Hollywood reboots famous, iconic films.

Seriously, Papillon? What were you thinking?

You put out 30 films - every season - that are utter garbage.

It would seem to me that the odds are much more in favor of rebooting a shit film into something acceptable, compared to rebooting an iconic film thinking you're going to come remotely close to capturing that magic again.

Like, you know what couldn't be any worse? Krull (1983). Give that script to Peter Jackson and leave the good films alone.

 

When people you don’t know or barely know make small talk, with a laugh in the sentence, when it isn’t even funny. At all.

Example: “Hey look, regular gas is only $3.30 now, lolol.....

Same guy or gal a moment later: “I heard it was gonna rain tomorrow ....hahaha”

*talking between two gas pumps*

 

They have even been known to cut off their fins for food and discarding the rest of the shark.

 

His money, I guess, but this mope couldn't think of anything more important to do with 91 million dollars than buy this work of 'art'?

 

Why would you pay money to lose weight?
I could think of a few countries to go to and weight loss is guaranteed.

 

Better yet, just run round the block. That's completely free.

 

Danish view to Svenska diskuterapolisen.

 

Well that Clooney with the narcissism nervosanorexia condition was pitching Catch-22 on BBC1 yesterday. And I discovered they remade JC Superstar way back in 2000 with a porno Jesus, I only just discovered that one. I kind of like it.

 

My stupid decision to stay in again today. Starting to go stir crazy, and have no one to blame but myself. Sometimes I think it would be good to put my decisions to a public vote.
