I can stand snap, crackle, and pop record noise. I can moderately take warped records, repeating skips, and skips in general. But I can NOT handle off centered spindle holes. One of the most soul-shattering revelations.

How every single little website on the Internet expects you to “sign up” or “create an account” to do any minor thing on that website. I have too many passwords to remember already.
Similarly, this nonsense:
I tried to log in to tumblr today, and they’re forcing me to change my password simply because I’ve had my current password for a long time. Frankly, I don’t give a rat’s ass if someone hacks into my tumblr, because I don’t have any information worth stealing there.
That’s kind of the point: It’s none of your damn business how secure or not secure I want my account to be.
While I’m at it, people who bother with that “scan fingerprint to unlock phone” stuff drive me nuts. Get over yourself. You’re not James Bond. Your phone isn’t full of highly sensitive classified information that everyone is after. If hackers really wanted the information on your phone, they’d be able to get it and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. All having fingerprint scanning on your phone accomplishes is that it is a pain in the ass to people you lend your phone to. I don’t even have a numerical lock password on my phone because I know all those job application rejection emails aren’t of value to anyone.
I know this is a redundant sentence, but all this excessive security stuff has gone too far.

Overuse/misuse of the word “literally.”
There is now no misuse of the word “literally” since they added a new definition in the dictionary (see definition 2).
But on a related note, it really bothers me when people misuse the words ignorant and petty. Ignorant means unknowing, but it’s like all these people use it as an insult without even knowing what it means. They’re probably trying to sound smart by using a big kid word but all it does is make them sound stupid for misusing it. Petty means of little importance but young people these days like to misuse it and I like to point out to them when they do, but nobody seems to appreciate me trying to help them sound less stupid.

I don’t think it could because I don’t even think the people who misuse those words even know what definition they think they’re using, but if it did happen I would be greatly disappointed and I probably would never accept the new defintions as definitions of the words.

It happened with literally. No need to be disappointed with natural progression of language like how “can I” and “may I” have become the same thing.

What did “can I” and “may I” used to mean?

I only noticed people doing this when English isn’t their first language or if they’re a little kid, so I let it slide.
Sometimes it’s hard to let bad grammar slide even if it’s a baby talking, though. My four year old sister has pretty bad grammar and I just want to correct everything she says but I can’t.

From here
Once upon a time in the land of strict grammar rules, “can” denoted physical or mental ability and “may” denoted permission or authorization (1). It wasn’t OK to use “can” if you were talking about permission. You could hear citizens of this land saying, “May I accompany you to the ball, Miss Fuzzywink?” and “Why of course you may, my dear.” This young lady perhaps would ask her suitor about his dancing ability: “Can you do the cha-cha?” and he would answer that he did have the ability: “Why of course I can, Miss Fuzzywink.”

Offline I’ve kvetched about this before but another four friends just “liked” and “shared” a scam Facebook page. This time Delta Airlines claiming they’re giving away free first class travel anywhere in the world. Oh, really? REALLY? Hahahahahahahahaha!
I have posted to my friends before not to like or share those scams and how to know they’re scams. I mean this one? A case of if it looks too good to be true it probably is. Delta has an official verified page with more than two posts, and doesn’t spell it Delta Air”. The quotation marks are a giveaway. There is usually some extraneous punctuation involved in there so you can tell real fast it’s fake.
Over seven thousand likes and shares. People REALLY think this is for real? I mean REALLY? I keep telling people not to fall for it because if you like and share you’re boosting their Edgerank and propagating the scam. You are also opening yourself up to these scammers selling all these likes (accounts) on the black market to the highest bidder. It’s just NOT good.
I feel like I’m shouting into the void so much though. *sigh*

Offline When biographies get wildly speculative. Today I saw a full book about the day John met Paul. After looking at the first page, I decided it wasn’t worth buying. I’m tired of seeing biographies or non-fiction books that read like this:
“John Lennon woke up that morning with a wide grin on his face, as was the style at the time. John Lennon ate eggs for breakfast, because that’s just the kind of person that he was. He must have felt this and thought that.”
That’s just hack-y writing pretending you have a window that you can see into dead peoples’ souls and read their thoughts. The author is just imagining people the way that the author would like them to be. Go write lousy fanfiction if that’s what you’re trying to do.

I couldn’t agree more. In reading class in eighth grade we had to read a book about Abe Lincoln’s killer and the author pretended to know exactly what the guy was thinking when he killed Lincoln and after that when he went into hiding and it really bothered me. What bothered me more than the book was how my teacher taught it to us like the book was all fact when most of it was made up.
