Grrrrr....
From Terry Teachout comes this quick Pet Peeves Meme:
• Grammatical pet peeve. Their name is Legion. At the moment, however, I'm particularly sensitive to the increased misuse of "number" and "amount", about which I was ranting over at Kathy's just the other day.
• Household pet peeve. "You girls! Flush! The Damn! Potty!"
• Arts and entertainment pet peeve. Isn't that really what this blog is mostly about?
• Liturgical pet peeve. Episcopalians singing trying to sing spirituals. It's preposterous. "Let My People Go?" Are you kidding me?
• Wild card. People who run for the Metro. Another train will be along in a minute or two. And you're not that important. Besides, you look ridiculous, like big-butted lemmings.
Oh my! The big-butted lemmings caused an inordinately large amount of hot soup to go up my nose, thank you so much. :) Of course, that's the most accurate description I've ever heard.
