I absoloutley HATE it when people talk in abbreviations. I have a friend who shortens soo many words when she talks. For example instead of saying "whatever" she will say "whatev" or instead of "this afternoon" it's "this aft" or "january is Jan"... drives me nuts!!! I don't mind using abbreviations to type with but a vocal coversation... i just can't stand it

ignorant; racist; fascist

You can do the slightest thing to be stuck with them. I'm sure that in the Political / Religious sections they are the most used words ever. Don't agree with someone - you're a fascist
Don't agree with someone of a different race - you're racist
Don't like a religion or group of people - you're ignorant and don't understand them.

It's getting pathetic. But its in the real world too, not just here.

Actually, I find your degradation of the word pretentious, pretentious. Perhaps we need to drill down to the real issue.

I'm sick of seeing "loose" used in place of "lose", and "beg the question" in place of "raise the question".
