People are saying "whenever" when they just mean "when" and I hate it with a fiery passion.

"Whenever I was at the game yesterday..."

When. WHEN!!

All dates should be formatted according to ISO 8601 standard (YYYY-MM-DD).

Months should be adjusted so September, October, November, and December are the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th month respectively (so the literally meaning of the names accords with their actual meaning).

Not cleaning your kitchen knife after sharpening is trashy and contaminates your food with metal shavings.

void main() {
    //code
}

Is better than

void main()
{
    //code
}

Why would you want to put it on a separate line? Are you paid by the height of the source file or something?

Boneless wings are just chicken nuggets.

Time zones shouldn't exist. There should just be UTC time and you would go to work at the equivalent of your morning time.

Oxford Comma.

Anyone who puts always-on blue LEDs in electronics deserve the oubliette. People who put such LEDs in electronics meant for the bedroom deserve an oubliette that'a slowly filling with water.

Tabs, not spaces.

I don't give a shit if your arguments perfectly align to the function. It's only semantic indication. Use the goddamn special character that has its own dedicated key.

Thirteen months, 28 days each + one day. (Plus another day when there is a leap year).

It would just work.

"an historic" is wrong and terrible if you pronounce the "h"

Carmel should be the hard version and caramel is the soft kind.

English verbs have historically had present form, past form, and past participle form, eg. go / went / gone. I'm sad to see the past participle form being phased out of American English. People I went to school with and who I'm sure were taught differently (not to mention innumerable podcasters and public radio personalities), now say things like: "By the time I got home I found he'd already went," eliminating the past participle and instead using the past form. Had saw is not uncommon either. I am old enough I refuse to incorporate this development in the language. If I ever encounter had was/were in the wild I might blow a gasket. Now entering my fuddy-duddy years :(

Pedestrians have the right of way. Most of the other hills are survivable.

It's "different from", not "different than", goddammit.

I live in a pretty mountainous area, but I can think of a couple blind corners on small hills near me. So probably the one on the way to the bakery while running or biking.

But I do a lot of ski touring so I'd rather die on one of the big ones.

The Office means the British version. The American office refers to the American version.

There absolutely was a cornucopia in the fruit of the loom logo. That is the sole reason I know what a cornucopia is. It wasn't on any table or in any thanksgiving decoration in my childhood, it isn't a popular thing to exist in media, it was an obscure item that was a main part of an underwear logo.

Anyone that says differently is objectively wrong. I don't know why the logo changed and why besides a patent entry even the company itself denies it. I don't really care if this is an alternate earth or aliens or time travellers or an entirely natural quirk of existing in a quantum universe, but I know for an absolute fact the sole reason I know what a cornucopia is is because of my underwear, and not because my dick is coincidentally called the horn of plenty.

February should only have 1 r

Pineapple on pizza is delicious, that is all

The word Himalayan is pronounced like Him-a-lay-an, NOT Him-all-ee-an.....

Niche pronounced with a "ch" sound is wrong and dumb and I hate you

Using tabs for document management (f.e. Browsers, Text-Editors, ...) was a mistake. It would be way better if every document (website, text-file, image, console, ..) was in its own window, centrally managed by an intelligent window manager of the OS that allows quick and easy search between all documents like with a full-text searchable exposè-like view.

Using tabs for document-management was a bad but necessary workaround because Windows is a horrible window manager (despite its name, ironically).

Tabs work best when there is a fixed amount of them (Like with game settings: Controls, Audio, Video, Gameplay).

I could go on for quite a while on this, but I think this is where I stop.

Water is wet

Single-speed bicycles suck.
They combine the drawbacks of a geared bike with the drawbacks of a fixed gear bike.

Probably a slightly higher stair in a staircase one day

The split between "Today" and "Tomorrow" is at midnight, not when one sleeps/wakes up.

This comes up often after midnight when my girlfriend asks me about "tomorrow". Why discuss breakfast for tomorrow when we still haven't had breakfast today??
