What are some of your pet peeves? I get really ticked at people giving out false information, ESPECIALLY regarding Global Warming (The cause of which is an inaccurate model, not actual warming of the Earth). ---

A bit of a can of worms you’re opening there, but then again, I’m not clear on your stance. “an inaccurate model” is pretty general. “Global Warming Denyers” often misunderstand or misrepresent the facts in this regard. On the other hand, “Global Warming Alarmists” pick and choose from the scariest of facts in an effort to give urgency to their cause. Kind of causes a bit of misunderstanding in both directions. Pet Peeves often surround language abuses, such as: - Not understanding what “Begging the question means”. Hint: the thousands of times you’ve seen “Which begs the question: ?” are examples of incorrect usage - The word “irregardless”. There’s not supposed to be any such word. “Regardless” is what you meant. However, “irrespective” is a word, so g’head and use that one. - Any qualifier in front of the word “unique” (for example, “really unique” or “very unique”). The word “unique” is defined as “one of a kind”. You can’t be very one-of-a-kind. Something is unique or it is not, period. ---

Whenever someone asks the question… This Vs That and offers nothing about what they like or what they play… But even worse is when ppl chime in who have not played one or both of the throws with an opinion… Makes no sense to me… Say… Majesty Vs. Cliff for example… Or CODE2 Vs. Chief we see that one alot… ---

I don’t know if it’s a pet peeve but I can’t believe all the people that want to be sponsored just to get free gear. I mean come on, the only reason to be sponsored is so you can have a little help spreading the love of yoyoing. I don’t know, purpose is important in life and selfishness is so…egocentric. :wink: ---
