The thing is, is that I see a topic which I would love to post in, but then everyone else has said my opinion much better then I actually could and I sound redundent and state the obvious.
Though my finest hour on this forum still has to be that PETA-bashing can of worms (spanned 8 pages) that I opened last spring.
does anyone actually care!
Sure.
My forum pet peeves are mostly grammatical. Mostly just overuse of ellipsi and horribly incorrect apostrophe usage. Nothing too bad, just little things that stand out to me.
Thank you for validating my existence. I do overuse the phrase "but seriously".
People who think they have to make fancy formatting, such as tiny illegible fonts and brashly colored tables.
The its/it's, your/you're mistakes. Stuff like that, generally.
People who mispell words like
ya, dood, Troo.
Newbie talk as a whole is my pet peeve. Purposely using bad grammar is on a whole different level than common mistakes. At least you don't need a translator for simple grammatical mistakes. xD
I will agree with Wiegrahf42 though. That has driven me nuts on occassion. What's worse is when you make a post that you put a lot of thought in to and then the thread dies right after your post. :p
I hear that.Quote:

Grammatical and spelling errors irritate me. People who ask obvious or stupid questions that can be easily answered by using the site annoy me as well. I AlSo hAtE It wHeN PeOpLe tYpE LiKe tHiS, though it does not happen often here at EoFF.
But, mainly grammar and spelling are the culprits.
Meanies.
I don't like it when others copy someone else's original idea and then abuse it to the point that it loses its charm.
To be honest my pet peeve is seeing pages in one topic. After 4 or 5 I don't read it. ^^
Wow, I must piss a lot of people off unintentionally with my horrid spelling, and lack of traditional grammer. I like saying things as they come out, worring about semantics is a form of censorship! :D
My pet peve is this smiley :joey:
Bipper

Mean people who randomly target people. :( Ungrateful people, also.

So yeah, generally gramatical stuff. Not enough to be a English major, but stuff like that

My forums pet peeve is Forum Pet peeve threads.
Let's see... I hate it when people type in really small fonts, colors that almost match the background, colored borders around posts, terrible grammar, misuse of apostrophes, and posts that look like this:

....like that. And yes, I have seen posts like that, not here, but in other forums.

Mine is probably random newbies who try to flame but end up sucking. "lolz u r teh faghat. ROFL!!
Dan... your table... is so awesome. xD
Speaking of which, tables are a pet peeve of mine too.
That's certainly one way of putting it. :DQuote:
