I don't have problems with "immediate". I have problems with vowel combos.

"bureaucracy" "Continuous". I can't remember it for the life of me.

This really only causes me mild annoyance, but I still roll my eyes whenever someone says "for all intensive purposes" when they mean "for all intents and purposes."

I prefer "for all extensive purposes." :P

When I can't find a forum thread I'm looking for even by using the forum's Search function. =[

 

The Shakespeare thread seems to have disappeared on me.

Looks like you found it!

 

Yes, I did. No thanks to the Search function, though. o_O

 

Oooh. Just discovered another one: when a video ad has a mute button, but the sound continues after I press the mute button. Sense, this makes none!

I surmise from this post that you are also annoyed by overuse of the word "like". Am I right?

The word Abominable.

 

 

No real reason, I just hate that word.

 

I hate the word "salient." I don't have a good reason, but I do have one: my freshman year at BYU, I had this civics professor who gave homework assignments that somehow managed to be both boring and difficult, and he would always talk about "Make sure to hit the salient points, everyone." So now I associate that word with that professor and all the angst that class caused me.

I buy Ebooks now.

Salient makes me think of saliva. Gross. I'm adding that one to my list.
