      The only word that psssses me off more is veggies.
      There might be a perfectly delicious recipe but when I see that word, I scroll with extreme prejudice.

        The word that i don't like is when people say absolutely instead of just yes or no.

          Why is English so irrational? There's a current tendency to spell the past tense of "to lead" as "lead", like the metal, rather than "led". I find this irritating but understandable. The past tense of "to read" is, to be fair, "read" and not "red". What's the past tense of "to plead"? I've heard both "pled" and "pleaded"... but should "pled" actually be spelt "plead"?
