Facebook
and all those other stupid 'social networking' sites. I don't give a fuck if you are scratching your arse, and if you want to talk to me then let's meet up at the pub. You know, the kind of 'social networking' that has worked for the human race for umpteen millenia prior to bloody Twitter. Along with Facebook etc I would also like to nominate bloody cell phones, especially those ones with the technology to allow people to update their poxy Facebook status.

On the subject of mobiles, I friggin' hate getting texts from people who have keyboard style inputs, allowing them to text at a much quicker rate than my old style (scrolling through the letters) phone. I hate that almost as much as I hate texting in the first place.

On the whole language and grammar thing, I do like some degree of standard English spelling and structure to be used. On the other hand, English is a very dynamic language that constantly evolves. Look at something written a few hundred years ago and it is almost unrecognisable as English. Wrap the language up in cotton wool and it will wither away. There are reasons for English being the dominant language and it has a lot to do with the flexibility of a language built on the foundations of multiple other languages, including 'new' words and spelling.

Facebook can only annoy you if you're on Facebook.

I agree with the English
However some people fuck about with those foundations and that's the problem.
