    I don’t say “bless you” when someone sneezes, because it’s an archaic tradition based on superstitious nonsense.

    Have you had fresh orange juice though? The major brands are horrible they taste like acid, not at all like a nice sweet orange

    For the love of god just ask me if I would do something rather than ask me if I can.

    Yes, I can pass the salt. But WILL I? 😑

    American servers: clear the table when everyone is done. Not before.

    And don’t ask me if I am still working on it while I am eating. I am not “working on it” to finish my lunch.

    If asked how you are:

    You are doing well. Not good. If you really are doing good, it’s an active thing that makes a difference.

    Otherwise, you are doing well.

    Steak is overrated. I’d take a smash burger over a steak 9 times out of 10, and that 1 time out of 10 will just be because I’m in the mood for peppercorn sauce.

    If you’ve never worked on a holiday you shouldn’t be allowed to go to stores and restaurants on holidays.

    The word “utilize” should almost always be changed to “use”.

    And, people who cannot sing should not sing on stage.

    Pokemon is a wild [insert word here] for IRL hunting which I do not condone. It’s literally the same premise just with cutesy characters and PG story line so that kids can become desensitized to the concept.

    Island has an ‘s’ in it. This was started as a stylistic choice to make the word look more Latin despite the fact that the English word has no Latin roots.

    This is proof enough that English is a stupid language for the unwashed masses. There are no rules, all that matters is how it is used and understood. Anyone who tries argue that “literally can not mean figuratively” or that gif has to be pronouced a specific way is an idiot trying to force logic into a system that has none. Don’t waste your time trying to explain that you know the only true and proper rules to Calvinball.

    That ‘s,’ that’s what broke me.

    “Steep learning curve” means quick to learn, not difficult. The curve is learning over time. If the curve is steep there is much learning over short time.

    Doesn’t mean easy nor hard, just quick.

    Saying “bless you” for sneezing is the most bothersome human interaction (to me) that serves literally no purpose but people pretend that it does to justify doing it out of habit. And, oh boy, have I gotten so much shit for it.
