Hey Pandas, What’s A Commonly Misrepresented Concept That Drives You Crazy? (Closed)

NATHANIEL HOW COULD YOU

"Expecially" when they are adamant that they are right.

There trying too tell you that specific and pacific are one in the same

For all intensive purposes yes I do

Who aksed you?

YES I WANTED TO YELL AT MY CHEMISTRY TEACHER YESTERDAY ABOUT THIS

Ahh another person who hates the mispronounced words. I knew I wasn't the only one.

The nu is pronounced as new? With the W sound?

George W. Bush figured Homer Simpson says new-kyoo-lar, and he ought to know

This reminds me of how I feel when watching movies with weapons and the actors don't have any recoil from using them. I get frustrated like this is completely unbelievable

Also most martial arts are only good at defending against others attacking with that same martial art. As MMA has shown again and again unless it's a grappling art or boxing it's pretty much trash in an actual fight.

Anybody who thinks that zodiac signs control their personality annoy me. Like oh I got an F on a test, must be because I’m an asparagus.

YES. The times that I have seen people do that is enough to give me a permanent cringe on my face.

I have a few pet peeves, but one of my strongest is "I could of" or "He must of." It's"have". Not "of". Stop spelling what you think you're hearing.

Can you itch my back for me? That one drives me CRAZY. Itch is the sensation, you want me to SCRATCH your itch.

Also my hubby.

What I always used to remember the difference between affect & effect, was that Affect was an Action

I've never heard "I'll borrow you something" but I can say "loan" is not a verb

Oh yeah and don’t f*****g pray for me!!!! I will burst into flames!

If anyone says that near me I always say, "Then explain suicide and heroin addicts..." and walk the fug away. It is a truly cruel thing to say to someone suffering.

Religion has an answer for everything like "God answers all prayers; sometimes the answer is no". Prayers are like birthday wishes; sometimes they come to be, sometimes they don't, but I doubt a God has anything to do with it. But by all means, if it brings you comfort, go for it. The only precise words FROM GOD are the Commandants, (which are broken daily often by those who claim to be the most religious), and that's only if you believe Moses actually got them from God. 40 days and 40 nights TWICE can do a lot of chiseling. He was a politician, saying whatever was necessary to keep his people in line, and THAT hasn't changed. Bible books were determined by men deciding what they wanted to include and what to omit, or possibly, what they wanted us to know and NOT know. Keep in mind that until 500 years ago, man thought the world was flat and still burned witches even more recently. But we accept what men of 10,000 years said about God speaking to them in a dream. GEEZ!!

Approximately how many words has god created?

I agree in part and disagree in part. I agree that we introverts are not all the same and that being an introvert doesn’t mean that we hate people. Where I disagree is the statement that “you just have to get us to open up to you”; I don’t want anyone to try to “get me to open up to them”, that’s not anyone’s job, and it’s annoying when people try to force me to be social. The better course of action is to respect my comfort zone and understand that social interaction is energy-draining and can be uncomfortable. We introverts are often told that we need to break out of our shell; but who’s telling the extroverts that we’re not broken, we don’t need to be fixed, so they should just leave us alone.

Your social dilemma is not our responsibility.

My husband gets so happy when we find the few places that have them in both. He has always felt frustrated about the lack of them because it made it so much harder for him to take the kids anywhere if I was at work.

Most Malls in NZ have Changing rooms that can be used by men or women. You may need to explain that to some very ignorant women who consider that it's their place alone. I wonder how they'd get on with a single Dad?

They’re their, it will be alright 😂

I feel like we should make flustrated a word , as a combination between the two lol

I'm surprised this wasn't brought up: the overuse of "I" to somehow sound more educated, when "me" is actually the correct choice. For example, someone saying, "It happened to Susan and I." If you use the trick of splitting the sentence in two - "It happened to Susan" and "It happened to I" - it's seen quickly that "me" is the correct choice. Just because you think the use of "I" makes the sentence sound classier doesn't necessarily mean that's true. *Steps down from soapbox.*

And than and then. How many times I’ve seen then used when it should’ve been than

Have and Of are also not interchangeable.

My son's interests are movies. He knows everything about the movies he has watched. He studies the credits and knows who the director and producer are and can give you a list of other movies they have made. He especially likes Japanese monster movies and series. He can tell you who the suit actors were for every Toho movie. Someday he might be the film historian in some documentary, who knows. I'm very proud of him. 😊

I don't understand anyone who makes those generalized ideas why would all people who have an autism like one thing. It's like saying all girls like dolls or dresses. Stupid is far more prevalent than intelligence. Well this one is ignorance.

I second this from Nevada. No, not Las Vegas.

I've lived in eight New York counties and spent time in lots of others. At one time I had one neighbor family in a half mile radius (everything else was apples or corn), at another I had a Mexican restaurant and a falafel place in my building, and now the closest place with a cash register is two miles away

I've been seeing this on certain captions and I wish I could get my hands on them to redo them!

If it bites you and you die: venom. If you bite it and you die: poison.

Some would of benefitted from paying attention in english class /s

I also dislike "if I would have" as opposed to "if I had," but that might be a personal thing

Headphones/earbuds mean I want to avoid some ambient distracting/painful/irritating noise, not talking to people.

As an oboe and English Horn player this drives me nuts. No, an oboe is not a clarinet. And an English Horn is nothing at all like a French Horn.

harpsichord/clavichord

Blah blah bored now

Or worse, "And so anyway"
