    We all have those words that drive us crazy. Mine is when people pronounce associate as asso-SHE-ate.

    It’s petty. Like really, really petty. But for some reason it grates on my nerves.

    Also there’s an Reddit, user named random_commas or something like that. They leave legitimately good comments but with a few, extra commas in places that really fuck up the flow while reading. It gets me every single, time! I get all frazzled until I notice, the username and realize i’ve been had. Respect to that, person for having such a harmlessly evil schtick.

      That is wonderously harmful evil, thanks for sharing. Im slightly worried im going to start noticing that asso-she-ate pronoun-she-ation.

      Time will tell!
