Lol much more realistic to have the not-a-gigantic-fat-lazy-cunt simply cross her legs so the gigantic-fat-lazy-cunt-forever alone bitches don't feel "harmed" by it. I don't even think a good plague would solve the problem because it will inevitably take some of the good and leave some of the shit. What we really need is a good cleansing (i'd say genetic but it's not really genetics that are the problem). Something like the concept in the Purge except it'd be a 1year timeframe and it only legalizes murder of retards (not the legitimate mental defect retards either).

People who don't realize that "I could care less" is not the complete opposite of "I couldn't care less".
Just because I could care less, doesn't mean I care a lot about your problem. Probably, the only reason I don't care less is that it would take more effort than you're worth.

Bullshit semantic. When people say the phrase, they are implying that they do not care. When used incorrectly as: "I could care less", this implies you DO care. To what degree is irrelevant. This phrase is also a peeve of mine. A very distant second is when people say "irregardless". The double negative "ir" and "less" leaves you with regard. The exact opposite of what people mean when using the word.

I had this same argument with some morons on the Pdox forums. It's doubly frustrating when you're arguing with non-native english speakers who think they know our idioms.

To go along with all the irritating phrases (I might have already mentioned these but they constantly irritate me daily), I work with an office full of people that say, "I seen" instead of "I saw" and "supposably." I want to strangle them every time. I gave up correcting them years ago because it isn't worth the hassle.

Another one that gets me that is directly related to the industry I'm in. We provide door closers, which are, quite obviously, the things mounted at the top of some doors that make them close behind you. This one guy, who is notorious for using the wrong word for everything (like that eggcorn list), has called them "closures" for 15+ years. Every once in awhile I call him on it, but again, it just doesn't matter because in a few weeks he'll be right back to saying the wrong word. And driving me fucking nuts.
EDIT: Oh, and people that don't understand the "mind-bottling" joke. For all intensive purposes you can go fuck yourself with the Sixteenth Chapel.

People with fucking dragon breath. Better not ask him a question in the copy room, the stench will linger for a half hour.

I could care less if you think it's just semantics. But words mean things, and everybody is not always trying to say what YOU mean. Sometimes we're trying to say what WE mean.
I agree about irregardless. It's gotta have a hard T in it. IrregarTless
I think there's a couple people here who don't get that. I say a lot of those phrases purposely wrong because I think they're funny. But, there is a risk of over-use and forgetting that it's wrong. That's why I bug my eyes out when I hit the hard T in irregarTless when I use that one.
One of the tips to living a good life that my dad taught me was to never live west of work. You'll be fighting the sun in your eyes both ways. Obviously, this only applies if you work normal hours, if you work nights, don't live east of work.

Right now the sun is actually in my side and rear-view mirrors on the way home, and it fucking blows because I can't see a single thing behind me (and practically blinds me unless I move the mirrors). It will be over in a week or two, but this particular span always seems to have clear days.

I'd never heard of eggcorns. Those are interesting, but it's probably more interesting how upset people apparently are about them. With most of them (actually, all of them that I read), I can understand how people are making the mistakes. For instance, 'set and done' doesn't really make any less sense than 'said and done' in those examples, and a lot of people pronounce 'said' like 'set'. They're only upset because the saying is 'said and done'.
Fedor, how do you feel about the use of Spittin Image? Does that bother you too, or is it OK because it's been around long enough?
