Prejudice
"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

I also wish fewer people would use the word 'less' when they mean 'fewer'.
Wankers.

Well, I do see your point.
But to quote a certain bloke who was quite light-of-foot on the old water- "Don't try and help a person with a speck of dust in your eye until you can see past the plank of wood in yours".

More random...

anybody who replaces
have with of after a modal should have all genitals severed/mutilated by a rusty-chainsaw-wielding spacker.
I used to teach this to children - anybody who used of instead of have was sent into the babies classroom, and made to sing and dance (for everyone's amusement - an english academy where the walls were all made of glass)

He should put his own grammatical house in order.
