They should have used 'shag', 'hump' or 'screw' instead.

qaudrilogy, if I had been guessing, would have been what i would have thought meant a set of 4.

basically grammatical errors. prepositions at the end of sentences, slang in public speeches, and DOUBLE POSSITIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! let me explain. now of course there are double negatives and they make me cringe, but if i hear one more person say something along the lines of "most importantly" i'm gonna lose my shit. on a side note i worked as a manager for an unnamed company that had customers in, among other states, illinois. now i had about 30 employees and they were all college graduates, were paid nicely, had good benefits, etc... there was this one girl that would pronounce the 's' in illinois when talking to customers. long story short i asked her repeatedly to stop and she couldn't (or wouldn't), so i fired her. she also came in late a lot, but that's beside the point. you're a fucking college graduate!!! your success in life should not depend on silent fucking 's' in illinois.

i also hate people that overuse profanities :D

Imagine being in law school with fairly intelligent people yet those people cannot spell or use proper grammar. I read the law books and everything has improper punctuation.

Same with IT proffesionals.

i worked with a guy with a friggin computer science degree (associates from a community college though, so consider the source) who's grammar and spelling were so bad, our boss got an email from him fowarded to him from a customer asking if he was joking.

He had aspirations of being a pc repair tech for the company and actually told me once that "terminology wasnt important". In computers.

I guess there isnt really a difference between a screensaver and a desktop, or rom and ram. what do I know. and memory and storage, Same thing. Why not?

I hate when people pronounce "New Orleans" like "New Orleens"... or pronouncing "theatre" as "thee-ater".

So I guess I just hate rednecks.
