Grammatical Pet Peeves
Relative to most, I consider myself highly tolerant of the annoying things and people. But there are some verbal/grammar things that just plain kill me. The following utterances often cause me to throw up in my mouth a little bit.
1. Expecially. The word is "especially", people. Essssspecially. Get over the freaking 'x', and use the 's'. Learn it. Know it. Live it. Use it. And spare me my sanity.
2. Expresso. See above about the 'x'. Seriously. It's "espresso". If you say "expresso" you are not quite as terrible as you could be if you say "expecially", but you are still pretty lame.
3. Fustrated. What are you, six? The word is "frustrated". Grow up! Accept it. You know who's fustrated? Me! When you forget the stinkin' 'r'! Yeesh. You're pissing me off just making me think about it. Why you gotta piss me off like this?

I have to admit when I saw the title I was sure I would be the reason you wrote it, but I can proudly say I only do one of the three offenses. I do say expresso.
Nice post, keep it up berk!
