I just hate when people write "suppose" instead of "supposed"
Like "suppose to".

And "could of"
People do know that it's "could've/ could have", right?

Is this in conversation?

I've seen it both online, and heard it used in actual conversation, yes.

Applies to "use", as well.

"I used to live there."

The way North Americans say the word Aluminium. Triggered, and all eubonics. Nearly forgot, Peoplekind...

Aluminum used to piss me off too but I think it might actually be the first version of the word!

'Aluminum' or 'Aluminium'?

Obviously they're more important than you because they travel so much that it's hard to keep track of what city they're in. They're also so busy telling everyone about their travels that they actually save tons of time by only writing 3 letters.

I actually dislike the word "hate"

In all my years I have had strong feelings

Things
People

Never once, hate

You are blessed man.

I know a few people who understand the internal emotional impact of hatred and rage; it's not pretty.

When there's an imminent disaster people are all "We were praying the plane wouldn't crash". I wonder how many did anything more than scream OMG, OMG, OMG.
