Similar to yours, an SUV or CUV is just a lifted hatchback on steroids, and they have 0 upsides and a lot of downsides (higher fuel consumption, rollover risk and pedestrian and cyclist safety).

My version of the "could care less" pet peeve (which is annoying but tolerable) is when people reverse the order of the cases in a "let alone" phrase. The entire point of "let alone" is that you fail to meet the general case, so of course you don't satisfy the specific case.

For example, if I asked someone "Have you ever been to Germany?" they might answer "I've never been to Germany, let alone Europe!" As is, this is nonsensical, but if you reverse the order, all is well. Most examples in the wild aren't this obvious, but they're commonplace once you start looking for them.

The ability to spell well has nothing, or very little, to do with intelligence.

If someone uses the phrase “assless chaps” I will not rest until they admit that if chaps had an ass, they would be pants.

Fight me.

I know it has a long history of not being used literally, but I think literally should only be used to mean literally.

Cats are an environmental disaster and if you let your cat roam outside or feed wild cats, you're just a bad person and directly responsible for hundreds of bird deaths.

Tabs make more sense than spaces.

Pizza is not made on a grill or with cornmeal on the bottom, it's made on a hot stone, with flour on the bottom of the dough to keep it from sticking. It also does not ever touch pineapples or ranch dipping sauce. What in the actual fuck is wrong with people?

There are no dragons in Skyrim and many other games because wyverns are NOT dragons. and don’t use the “well the overarching category is dragon so it still counts” argument on me, because I will dismiss it out of hand!

I will never switch to wireless headphones until the quality is as good as wired.

@thrawn21 Phones are too big, too heavy and too complicated. A few years ago my now "regular" sized phone would be called a tablet.

It's "different from".

"Similar to"; "different from"; "less/greater than". "Different than" doesn't make sense.
