My newest pet peeve...

Recommended Posts

Maybe people have been doing this for awhile, but in the last year it's really caught my ear and getting on my nerves

 

When people end their sentences with conjunctions and then just trail off

 

"Blah blah blah blah, and...."

"Blah blah blah blah, but..."

 

And the biggest offender

 

"blah blah blah blah blah, soooo...."

 

So... so what?! So are you gonna say something after "so"?!

 

Conjunctions are for leading into another sentence, not terminating it.

 

It's irritating

You think you're uptight?? I go apeshit on idiots who say 'the' WWE. It's like saying 'the WCW'. It's retarded and it's wrong.

 

I'm getting worked up now just thinking about it.

I think its ok to say "the WWE"..

 

I enjoy "the WWE"..would basically mean I enjoy the World Wrestling Entertainment.

 

I don't see what is so wrong with that, other than how anyone could enjoy it.

World Wrestling Entertainment is a stand alone name. "The" is not needed.

I do that all the time and get pissed at myself for it.

 

But there's a tendency to say, "So...there you go" which is worse.
