Several times in the last couple weeks I've noticed the term "general consensus" in forum discussions. By definition, a consensus is general. Cease and desist. That's an order :-)
I feel sorry for those that are so rigid that they need to use the same spelling each time and are forced into using a structured construct for words in a sentence :-)

Back to your regular programming now...
R.
I shall ensure that I keep this note in close proximity to my keyboard as an aide memoire reminder. :O)
I'm noticing my own unusual irritation with a regular announcement on the radio soliciting feedback on a show, suggesting the listener click on "... the link to the program you wish to comment on." Maybe the recent passing of Edwin Newmann has triggered a heightened sensitivity to these issues.
I'm not fond of "friggin" either. I prefer "freaking".
A great peeve: snuck. The past tense of to sneak is sneaked. However, somehow "snuck" has become an accepted form of sneak. Instead of saying - I was freaked out - we could now say, I was fruck out. Or: My toilet leaked all night, no? Ah - my toilet luck all night!
Don't get me started on there, their, they're. People who misuse those words should have there heads set straight.
