Thank you for the original post. Some of the responses have been amusing whilst others a little worrying!
I think we have established a few useful facts.
Sum peeple carnt spell,
Others have no idea of punctuation or grammar
Some are over sensitive,
Some appear to have chips on their many parts of their bodies, not only their shoulders!
However, everyone has voiced their opinions and managed to get through to the rest of us which is, of course, the main object of a forum. i.e. A medium for the exchange of views.
Having said all that, from some of the latter posts, I am beginning to wonder what colour the sky is in some people's worlds!
Ray ... When I wake up, I breath in. I then breath out. If I achieve that, everything else is a bonus!
Bob.

Ha ha love it there is nothing like having a moan.
But life is short my friends so quick fire hates;
I hate comunial toilits
I hate red tape and burocrocey
I hate anal retentive people
I hate the PC birgrade
and needels I especially hate needels.
I wont appoligise for my lack of grammer or bad spelling as I am dyslexic which is a reconised disability and you wouldnt laugh at a guy in a wheelchair or tell him he should get up and walk correctly like your supposed to do. If you would then you belong in my list above.

1) When paying for goods with a card, people who stand right next to you, I usually ask them if they are paying!
2) People who go to Greece and then moan about everything, they should stay home.
3) Curry, can't stand it
4) Phone sales, if I need double glazing I would be phoning them
5)Men who think they are invisable at traffic lights and decide to pick their noses. Gross
I could go on, but I wont!!

Trisa - train your dog to shake, on command, outside. It can be done, but it takes time.

This is very true, my friend has gundogs who are trained to retrieve birds from water and she has taught them to only shake on command as if they shake with a game bird in mouth they could bruise the bird making it useless for eating...very clever and it makes me giggle as she just says "shake" and they do it anywhere water or no water...wouldnt fancy teaching my dog to do it though she finds "sit" difficult enough to master...well she is Greek!!!

Sloppy English grammar. For example "we were sat" (instead of "we were sitting") or "your" instead of "you're" or "there" instead of "their" or "they're".
Regarding languages, major changes take place over decades, centuries and millennia. So is it really that important? If the majority of people change the meaning of a word, or alter aspects of grammar, the change supplants the older form and is established. No big deal.
*******************************************
but "Here's a little poem I found on the internet following on from how language has changed".
Another good example is to ejaculate which meant originally to exclaim something suddenly.
But who cares?

I don't think I have any pet hates, being a tolerate but perhaps boring individual.

Jules,
Our Jake hasn't been taught to shake but he understands the command, "Empty!" Guess what he does then!
Sorry! Totally 'Off topic'.

Nothing really annoys me much, I do have some niggles though and I try not to let them bother me, but I have to admit, sometimes I do succumb!
1)the washing machine that eats steve's socks-why do I put in 5 pairs and end up with 4 1/2 pairs?
2)the rogue sock by the washbasket upstairs, after checking and double checking I have a full dark load
3)why do people get so upset over trivia?-(sorry)
4)people who mumble as if they are afraid of their own voice-dont care what accent it is -I love them all!
5)having creaky knees
There-thats about it!
