Call me a grammar nazi, but my biggest pet peeve these days is when people use "less" when they mean "fewer." Seems like it's gotten worse lately.

Any others?

This has been done multiple times, and you will always get the same results. Choose a different topic if you're going for posts.

People who act like what they're eating is the best food ever. (people like me know what I mean)

I think your just an elitist. First you make a thread about how stupid people are and then you do one about the improper use of grammer. And as tacos pointed out this has been used before so has the stupid poll except a different example a youtube video i think.

yeah, well a personal pet peeve, is why so many threads on The Escapist insist on putting in a poll, when it's not really necessary. It shits me off no end, and I never even answer the actual poll, I just post on the thread.

Thanks heaps for not including a poll on this thread :)

No problem, except I sorta included a poll in my last one. Go me. xD

So apparently this topic has been done to death, and I forgot to use the search bar. Go me twice. (Dammit, it's not my fault, I'm tired! Well yeah, it *is* my fault...) Anyway, it's up, and I can't take it down. I guess just ignore it if you don't wanna participate, and try not to hate me too hard.

General grammar and spelling mistakes. Even though I'm a culprit of it sometimes too. It's just lazy.
And it especially pisses me off when people using text language purposely spell a word wrong that has exactly the same amount of letters in it as the correct spelling and they say its quicker to type. I can't think of any examples right now. But it pisses me off, I tell ya!

Okay, now that we've established how badly I screwed up, does anyone know if there's a way to delete a thread? Or is it out there for good?

There's no "official" way to delete a thread, but you can always edit the original post to something the mods don't like ;)

On the flip side, the mods get angry at you.
Just wait until tomorrow; unless this thread is the best thing since the internets, it'll get eaten by the Page 300 Monster.

People who round down a number when its a number like 95.5.

Little kids who play games that are rated M FOR MATER for fuck sake. Unless I'm hearing the most high pitched voices from 17 year olds.

Dude who cares... there are people who live to point out a repeated thread. They obviously have nothing better to do, and shit is bound to get reposted no matter what. So keep trucking...

I really, really hate being pinned by down by a large hairy man who is forcing me to call him "Pickles the Bear".
