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.

I'm bumping this because:

My new biggest pet peeve is people who don't utilize a very simple tool called SPELL CHECK.

Firefox is great, because it comes with a handy dandy little spell check built right in. There are a lot of people on the internet who should make use of this.

Well, if women stopped flipping their hair and actually used the public bathrooms for what they're meant to be used for there wouldn't be a line, hm? Also, lemme tell ya I often go to the ladies' 'cause it's cleaner. Men won't mind if you use the gents' but be prepared, 'cause most guys can't aim when they're drunk.

Oh, and the pay bathrooms that you sneak into.. Some of them have a timed light. So it will go out while you're doing your thing. And you'll have to feel around the place to find the paper. And the sink. And the soap. And the door. Trust me. I've been there. It's a good idea only for so long.

And regarding "you have to pay".. Sure, there sometimes is a urinal for men that doesn't cost anything, but I for one like to wash my hands after I'm done. Also I sometimes like to sit even when doing number one. So, civilized men have to pay too. ;)

The misspelling of Brotherhood is weird on account it has no vowels. That was the first thing I noticed. Another pet peeve I have is that if you ask the people, i.e barber, banker, questions while you're not working on a case...all they say is I don't know what you're talking about???

*Bumps it like a rocket named Roger for Clemens and any newish folks who want to get their whine on*

Oh. And as to the Henry-guy's problem, the question-asking utility is pretty much useless to the unsubscribed. It's been a while since I've tried, but I think you can still get a more interesting (but equally useless) answer if you ask them about pirates. Don't point out the irony of hearing "I don't know about that" when you ask the barber for a haircut. It's been done.

Currently irritated by everything about this guy who calls himself 'Benny Ninja" on Top Model. Kinda want to force him to shave his Metallica moustache with a bunch of dull, rusty 'Benny Ninja stars'.
