RANT: My biggest pet peeve is when people can't differentiate when using the words "Saw" or "Seen." I have no idea why it bugs the shit out of me so much, but it sounds hillbillyish when used incorrectly.

EDIT: This wasn't directed at anyone on the forums, I just needed to vent because some cousins on Facebook I have as friends are idiots. I think English is their second language.

Examples:

She saw the movie last night..................... simple past tense
She has already seen the movie................ present perfect tense
We have seen too many accidents............ present perfect tense
No one had seen him at the party.............. past perfect tense

Any form of to have, used as a helping verb, is a clue that the main verb is in the present perfect or past perfect tense.

Write saw or seen in the blank to make the sentence correct. The helping verb will not be highlighted. The first two have been done for you.

1._ Have you seen my pink hammer?
2._ I think I saw it in the kitchen.
3. Jamie has never _________ a chipmunk before.
4. The girls _________ a strange light in the sky.
5. I've _________ your face on a poster! (Remember contractions.)
6._ I _________ you running in the park.
7._ In spite of the forecast, we never _________ a single snowflake.
8._ You were so pale, I thought you'd _________ a ghost.
9. _Actually, I _________ two ghosts.
10. Stan was still upset when Barbara _________ him at church.
11. Kathy has _________ the new report cards.
12. Jerry says that he's _________ them too.
13. I thought I'd _________ everything until you wore that dress.
14. Father _________ what you had for breakfast.
15. We have _________ the largest mall in the world.
16. Please don't believe what you think you _________!
17. I _________ a blue jay in that tree.
18. She liked the house when she _________ it in the daylight.
19. Oscar _________ where I hid the gold.
20. Ryan and Connor _________ what you had in your hands.

theyre, their,and there bug me more.

[nerrttrw]

for the record, Jason, i LOL'd.

[Talicoabilk]

eh i was bored and didn't feel like thinking about grammar

to LEND and BORROW are 2 different fucking things...they are not interchangeable

[viagraman]

I am annoyed by:

People that don't stop for stop signs.
People that take off their seat belts while the aircraft taxis up to the gate.
People that sing aloud at work and actually try and sound good.
The use of the word "pwned".

[halyshitzob]

Pronunciation errors piss me off. So does ghetto slang..

It's AMBULANCE not ambalamps.

Spelled, not spelt

Spilled, not spilt.

Worse, not worser.

Those are just a few...uneducated fucks.

[Talicoabilk]

id like to axe you a question about your post.....

ooh and i never understood gots and got'sta IE I got'sta go find me a real down bitch to wife.


that sentence makes me sad.

Fit'n to

that's another one.

[Talicoabilk]

[Borrinas]

my list would require more space than this site allows, although the big ones are:

Lying

Over the top exaggerations

Poor grammar!

White people who act black/ghetto

Mexicans that can't and won't learn english

People that can't respect a person's personal space

Carnies

Bad drivers

Nosy people

I'll stop now

[antonyandruleit]

You guys are too funny.


My biggest pet peeve isn't an action, rather a person.... I cant fuggin STAND Billy Maze. You know, that annoying fuck who sells OxyClean.

[PypeMaypetasy]

Fucking cunt rags on the phone while they're driving. Women are bad enough drivers...that don't need to be on the phone and putting on lip stick while while driving.

[CealialactBek]

Can we Dust off this thread ? .......


Stupid mother Fuckers who don't know how to put the little stickers on their plates ..... Damn that erks me ....
How stupid are they ... really ? .... there's a picture on the Fucking envelope that they BOTH came in .... " aaaargh ! "

This Type of Stupid should be either painful or punishable by open public ridicule ..... &*%& @$$ bastards .



I'm better now ...... anyone else ?

[StitsVobsaith]

HAHAHA! I couldn't agree more - of course I wish they would eliminate stickers all together. A cop is going to run your plate regardless of what stickers you have on it because of stupid thieves who cut them and like to use them on their own cars.

[PypeMaypetasy]

People who don't get out of the left fucking lane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bestworkothlo]

Despite the steady stream of people passing on the right? Yeah, I hate that. The worst is when they are going slow enough to match someone in the right lane, and completely ignore the fact that someone has been trying to pass for xxx miles!

[whatisthebluepill]

My pet peeve is people that make smart ass comments and then write LOL after it thinking that it is then okay and acceptable and then play it off as a joke when they get called out on it!
