GSManiac: People who mix up “genuinely” and “generally”
Grates me to the nth degree.

lose vs. loose

it's vs. its

bought vs. brought

Don't even get me started on people who think apostrophes mean plural. As in "I have two cat's"

Oh, back to grammar and spelling for the 900th time!

People who say the T in Often! Drives me insane. It's silent!

Only if you're describing a German stove.

Either pronunciation is in common usage.
It's up there with skedyool and shedyool.

My grate is definitely and defiantly. Gets me like chalk on a blackboard.

I always mispell that word and separately. Over Xmas I am finally going to get it through my brain. I just don't understand all the trouble I have with it. :)

Auto-correct is why I have crust issues.

It's funny because it's true.

Or should that be, "its funny's because its truthfully"?

Some companies just don't know when to stop. Received a large email yesterday, and a second copy of it about half an hour later. Today they've sent it a third time, with an extra paragraph at the top apologising for the accidental double send.

Is there any point to fobbing in a motorcycle gang member for running a red light?

I doubt a scolding from a police officer will make him see the errors of his ways.

I was sitting in heavy traffic. A Harley, missing its muffler, was ridden by a large male gang member in full gang regalia. He pulled behind me.

After 15 seconds, on a two way street, he decided the wait at the red light was too long, so no turn signal, crossed the centerline, going the wrong way. He passed the queue of traffic ran the red light, turned right way before the light ever changed.

I have it all on dashcam, including a good shot of his tag.

But again, any point in making a police complaint? It seem it'll waste my time, and no ticket will ever be issued to the culprit.

I'd love his motorcycle to get inspected for lack of a muffler

Based on my previous experience of reporting very dangerous driving in front of a school (multiple traffic laws broken) , a ticket is not going to happen.

Tickets do get given post-incident. If you mentioned the vehicle was excessively loud it might get to being inspected (depending on availability of resources and seriousness of infringement and inclination of assigned resources).

If you don't report it, there will be no transfer of funds from gangs to police coffers, and you never know, you might make him think twice, which might save his life, but more importantly, stop someone who might hit them, from living with that for the rest of their lives.
