Please don't think I'm here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.

The term I dislike strongly is 'eeeh' before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I've been pavloved bc it's always used by someone disagreeing. But I'm happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the 'eeeh' or 'erm' that annoys me.

So what's a random term that annoys you?

PS. Saying "eeeh actually 'eeh' is a perfectly fine term" would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I've said all this.

"Who hurt you?"

These days, that's shorthand for "I'm an emotionally stunted liberal who is so incapable of self-reflection that anyone who disagrees with a point I have must be acting from a place of unresolved trauma". It's always felt like people-who-definitely-used-to-post-to-4chan burning extra words to get to the r-slur they so desperately want to use; but with the exact kind of plausible deniability that gets their squishy bits either hard or wet.

More of a grammatical mistake, but "should of" instead of "should've" or "should have" annoys the hell out of me for some reason. I completely get how people make the mistake, but it's as much effort as just typing it correctly.

I judge the shit out of people for this. It suggests that they don't even grasp the meaning of the words they are typing or saying.

People that use question marks in non-question sentences just to be extra snippy and condescending. Fuck that.

When people refer to metal balls as ball bearings. A ball bearing is an assembly of outer ring, inner ring, balls, and a cage/retainer. I worked in bearing manufacture for years and they're just referred to as balls. To be more specific, it would be a bearing ball, not a ball bearing.

Cleanse. it's a less efficient way to spell clean.

This is how I feel about several acronyms at work! There's a three letter acronym recently that was coming up a lot on a meeting. I had to search for a definition to understand the discussion. The meaning is fully encompassed by just using one four letter English word that nobody past kindergarten will be confused about. But this acronym is everywhere! Also, the single word has fewer syllables than the stupid acronym, so it's faster to say. Not by much, but it just adds insult to injury every time I hear it.
