So this has ALWAYS been a pet peeve of mine; since the beginning of my Sleuthing.

*NOTE: This is not as big of one as the waiter/waitress 'fiasco' was*


Take a look at Sleuth Admin's detective page, for example.

"Politics
Order o Socrates: Good(10)
Arcanum Brthrhd: Good(10)
Cosa Nostra: Poor(-3)
Eastern Triads: Good(10)
Circle of Light: Poor(-2)
Green Hand: Good(10) "

Notice that of is "o", not "of" in Order of Socrates
Notice that Brotherhood is shortened, and the word Dies is completely absent
"La" is missing in La Cosa Nostra
Isn't it "The" Green Hand, "The" Eastern Triads?


Now I know this was done because of margin widths, but can it not be fixed in any way? It's not only annoying, but also can be confusing as to what the factions are called. Perhaps they could even be shortened to just OS, LCN, DAB, GH, CoL, and ET? (Although that would be very confusing as well)



Just something that's always bothered me.

Dang Crunch, I was already green with envy that you and the missus got to hang out with Nikkie in Amsterdam. No need to spread that green stuff all over my INFORMATION DELETED BY THE GOVERNMENT or how its all fluffy like that, but I have to admit my sinuses are all cleared up now.

By the way Bobo says hi.

My Pet Peeve happens to be people who do not know how to drive! I drive two hours for work everyday so I tend to see a lot of them. :D

Tsk-tsk, Al. This is a PG rated game! PG-13 at the most.

I have to ask for "cfm" - is there such a thing as wasabi scented markers?

lol Canady. My Pet Peeve too! Especially since the weather's cleared up I've started riding my bike to work again and it's been Russian Roulette out there ever since. If you're indicating left, go frickin' left! Ok I'm a bike, you're a truck, I can SEE that, there's no need to blow your airhorn at me!! OK I need coffee now. :)

Oh I can see it now!

*zombie squirrel droning voice* NUUUUUUTS! NUUUUUUTS! Must have wasabe coated NUUUUUUTS*

At risk of permanently warping the PG-13 mind...yeah Biggie, wasabe coated nuts would probably burn a l'il bit! Yes...even fluffy ones.

No idea if there's wasabe markers *hooked on black liquorice ones*
