    Here are the words that are becoming my pet peeve ever since I started online writing:

    Wanted Writers - "Native English speakers ONLY".

    "We're sorry but we're only accepting US-based writers ONLY".

    Ooookkkkaaaayyyyyy, what does being a non-native English speaker have anything to do with my skill in writing English?????

    Oh and this also - "awesome"

    jeezzzz, makes me feel like the one saying this has nothing better to say so he just says this word smile.

    I hate people and shops that refer to themselves as 'honest' because you know they're not.

    I actually hate it when people say ex cetera.


    There is no 'x'!!


    It's spelled 'et' cetera.

      It's amazing how many TV broadcasters say it incorrectly. Drives me nuts!

      Hearing that is nearly as bad as reading the loose/lose error.

      Similarly, I hate it when people say "eXpresso".  It's "espresso" for the love of God.

    I don't even know if this one is worthy of a conversation about words (in writing or in conversation), but one non-word that makes my head feel like it will explode is

    "prolly"  (which a whole lot of people appear to be using instead of "probably").  I don't know if these people are being funny or if they're horrendously ignorant; but I can't stand it.

    And another one is when people refer to "pregnant" as "pregos"  (!!!)  mad   lol
