Mine’s that people who insist on correcting others grammar on internet forums are little shits who peaked in grade six as a teacher’s pet and get off on exerting their “superiority” on others.

Fuck you “less than” is just better than “fewer then.” Think I’m wrong, tell me what these symbols are called “< >” that’s what I thought loser.

    That bugs me as well. Another is ‘off of’. There is no use case when ‘off’ isn’t sufficient.

      I often hear that in “based off of” where “on” makes even more sense. The thing that it’s based on forms the basis or foundation that the new thing is built upon, so you’re basing it on that.
