Now I am going to have to go back to that "annoying people" thread and see if your relative made your list :P I love that story BTW I used to watch Keeping Up Appearances and loved Hyacinth despite her faults. A real life Hyacinth would be annoying
I think I should say that I'm pretty much basing my contributions to this thread in the context of communicating with PC members but basing my views on general internet experiences. That's probably confusing because most PC members are very tolerant of bad spelling and grammar. I've posted in forums and groups where there are grammar nazis. To me they are annoying and disruptive because they shift the focus from the original subject to grammar and spelling. To me that is a digression and a complete waste of time... my time. I hate it when I have to wade through all that to get back to the real subject
Laziness in typing is annoying but only a bit. When someone types u for you etc there is a little mental "that is annoying" sign that flashes briefly in my mind and is quickly discarded.
It's tempting to relate the evolution of the views my cousin, myself and others of our generation hold towards where we came from, but that would be a digression and therefor annoying I will say that our egos have been stroked enough that it's become meaningless and we've matured and grown spiritually enough to have no shame or embarrassment from our cultural background and/or backwards and uneducated relatives... except to feel a bit ashamed at ever having felt such feelings at all.
