The Mighty Pet Peeves Thread

[Dr. Medulla]

Some advice to you university students when writing term papers: Don't fucking well put footnote markers in the middle of the goddamn sentence. It's visually ugly and bloody well disruptive. What it tells the reader to do is stop reading this sentence right now, before it's complete, and go read the footnote. Why are telling someone to stop reading your lovely sentence, then expect them to come back and just pick it up after that numeral, and that your point will still flow well? Wait until the end of the damn sentence before you want to provide evidence that you're not making shit up or have additional points to make.

(Note: I'm dealing with a writer right now who has an allergy to putting footnote markers at the end of sentences and it's pissing me off.)

I know exactly what you're going through. I hate that shit.

Are you eating store-brand pretzels right now like me? Why didn't I spend the extra dollar to get something less … donkey shit?

Tho it's never actually happened to be, I have a weird fear that my teeth will break on large pretzels, so I only eat mini-sized ones. I think in a past life I was bitten by a large pretzel (said large pretzel was Flex in a past life).

Not all of them. I saw a kid take a bite once and it just shattered everywhere.

Gross. No wonder Canada doesn't have an empire.

Pretzel historical determinism was debunked decades ago by Prof. Toby Skunkskin.

Bah, his methods were shoddy and his conclusions tenuous.

When you get tenure at the University of Phoenix, I'll think about listening to your critiques.

No, Vern, they just let him in. [/Stand By Me]

I laughed heartily at the idea of an entire child shattering while trying to eat a pretzel.
