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.

My pet peeve is teenagers who can't spell...Like on myspace....they're not even trying, the words they write don't exist....Has it become cool to appear stupid?

My recent pet peeve is women whose attractiveness is inversely proportional to their blood alcohol content, and whose ability to annoy increases exponentially.

Oh Serg, have some pitty. I mean, picture the scenario:

There you are, a not-so-attractive woman hanging around Serges' bar. The pickings are slim, so you drink some more since you read somewhere that beer can hide a multitude of sins. You look up at the stage...you see Serg crooning some great song by Bon Jovi. You are charmed, you are interested, you are dunk. YOu walk up to him, thinking you have it all going on, being emboldened by several vodka stingers...and...and...

That incredible gorgeous man is married! Not only married, but happily married! Not only happily married, but with a brand new beatuful baby!

I would become a pest as well....
