Comments on: Affect vs Effect (and why you should give uh-ffect) http://mathewwithonet.com/2008/11/18/affect-vs-effect-and-why-you-should-give-uh-ffect/ Welcome! I hope you enjoy your semi-voyeuristic peak into my little corner of the interwebverse. Think of this as the office trash can that sits in the corner too far away to actually walk up and put stuff in. Instead, I hurl random, crinkled rants, ramblings, musings, and garbage. Reflections of my life (darkly).

"Definately" or any other incorrect spelling of "definitely" kills me every time. Oh and "irregardless" may officially be a word, but even Merriam-Webster's dictionary says "use regardless instead". (Figured that since you ranted, I would throw in a few more things I've been wanting to say.) Thank you!

(and i'm not even a grammar nazi... as is evident by my lack of complete sentences and capitalization and proper punctuation. in stark contrast to Obama's perfect English) reminds me of when i was young and i couldn't differentiate between the cantonese terms mm-goy and doh-jie. both mean "thank you", but one is in when someone does something for you (like opening a door, or passing the food) while the other is in response to receiving a gift. ohhh why is communicating so hard!! can't we all just by PSYCHIC? other pet peeves:
