Top 5 things that piss me off

Lets talk about the top 5 things that piss me off so I feel better.



1. What happened to the letter H? Why don't people use it anymore? Wit+H=With. Wit isn't the same as WitH. Wat+H=WHAT. Wat isn't the same as wHat.



Wit is a form of intellectual humour, and a wit is someone skilled in making witty remarks. Forms of wit include the quip and repartee



A wat (derived from the Sanskrit word वात Vattaka) is a monastery temple in Cambodia, Thailand, or Laos. The word "wat" (Khmer: វត្ត, Thai: วัด, sometimes rendered "vat" when referring to Laos) means "school."



Therefore, when you use the word wat instead of what or wit instead of with, you really don't make sense. I think most of us graduated from High school (Or High Wat). I'm fairly certain somewhere along the line a teacher taught us how to spell What and With. It's not like it really saves you that much time or energy by excluding the H in these words. I think it just makes you look less intelligent than you really are which makes me sad. I propose we all start a movement to start adding the H where it is needed. Woo's wit me on dis? :)



2. Let's also talk about when people use the letters r, u or c instead of are, you or see. Come on people. Quit being lazy. Now I'm not saying I'm not guilty of using those letters if I'm trying to fit a lot into a 160 character sensitive text message. Sometimes you have to use your space wisely in those cases but if you are sending me a text that says "wat r u ^ 2" I don't have the energy to get out my super hero decoder ring to figure out what the hell you are saying. If you can't be bothered with typing stuff out then don't bother sending me a text. Just sayin.



Let's move off grammar and on to other things that annoy me.



3. Des Moines averages 33 inches of snowfall per winter. Give or take a few. This year we are already up to 69 inches of snow. For those of you who don't know how to spell what or with let me help you. That is over double the amount we usually have. DOUBLE. 2 TIMES the normal amount. I think we have every right to be pissed off about that. I think any of us have a right to be annoyed and complain that we get 6.7 inches of snow on the first day of spring after having a winter from hell. Therefore, don't tell me to "get over it" if I'm not happy about the snow at this point in the year. I am over the snow and over you. I don't want it anymore. I don't think it's pretty. I don't want to see it again until December.



4. I like to take vacations. That doesn't mean I'm unhappy with my life. That doesn't mean that I'm looking for more than what I have at home. It doesn't mean that I'm not content in my every day life. All it means is I like to travel. I like to go different places and see different things. It's educational. I learn things when I travel. I see historical things. I see pieces of United States history. I don't need people making comments about how they don't feel like they need to travel because they are content with what they have. They don't feel the need to search for something better. That's not why I travel. It's fine if you don't feel the need to leave your house that you can't afford but don't begrudge me a vacation because I know how to live within my means.



5. I don't like it when TV channels show movies that have words or scenes in them that go against the stations rules so they change them. If there is a movie that isn't suitable for that particular channel I would appreciate it if they just choose not to show it. It annoys me when I see that there is a movie on and I'm all excited to watch it then I turn it on and it's like watching a completely different movie. I'm watching one of those right now. It takes away from the intention and integrity of the movie.

I might try to start blogging again on a more regular basis. We'll see.
