Stuff that annoys me

Yes, yes, I realize that I've let another blog languish. What can I say, that is how I roll.

Anyway, i'm agitated today so here is a very short list of things that piss me off.

1. "Supposably". As in "Supposably, I am a douchebag." It's not "supposably", douchebag, it's "supposEDly". I don't know why but that drives me crazy.

2. "The Chia Pet was from Mildred and I." This is another common grammar mistake, so common that I'm often corrected by morons when I speak properly. "From" is a preposition. One needs an OBJECT at the end of a prepositional phrase (an object is me, him, her, them). If you put a SUBJECT at the end of a preposition, then not only are you wrong, but you sound like a pretentious retard who is trying to "talk all fancy" (that is the technical term, by the way). The sentence above should read "The Chia Pet was from Mildred and ME.", because if you take Mildred out of the sentence, what sounds better? "from I" or "from me"? Whatever. Also drives me nuts. Grr.

Ok, that's it, I have 15 more minutes to kill before I'm out of here. Hooray.
