As for actual words, I don't like the spelling of "phlegm".
Classes I've taken:
Physichem
Amerigov
Cal
Gee Neg
Lit
Lang
Thermo

It may be lazy, but it's not needless! CONSERVATION STATION DO YOUR BEST.

I think shortening of subjects like polisci, psych, calc, etc. is so common I lump them in the same category as scuba, fridge, 'grats and so on.

I can't stand it when people say something's "ridic" though.

Also, acne, acme or hackney. The combination of [æ], [i] and a nasal just makes me bleh.
