Things that bug me

People who ring you whilst you're playing poker and typing zzzzz in the chat box..... unless it's Celine Dion.

Excerpts from a recent local radio news bulletin:

"The incident occurred sometime between the 26th and 27th of September."

Huh? There's nothing between these dates. The twilight zone, perhaps?

"Police are looking for between 5 and 7 youths."

So they're looking for 6 then.

Do things like this bug you, or is it just me?

Both examples are clearly referring to an inclusive rather than exclusive range.

Really, if you want to be a pedant then good for you; but there are many better targets than the examples you are coming up with.

People who berate others on an online forum over something that was clearly made in jest.

Advertisers who use the slogan "new and improved" on their product. How can this be?!?!?!? If it is new it is the first of its kind and therefore there is nothing preceeding it that could have been improved upon. If it is improved then you are taking something that previously existed and making it a better product - IT CANNOT BE BOTH!!!

Sports commentators who insist on repeatedly saying "its the final pass/ball that is letting them down". OF COURSE IT IS!!! Its ALWAYS the final pass that lets them down thats why its the FINAL pass!! If player A manages to thread the ball through the eye of a needle to player B then the move is continuing and it is not the final pass. If player A is Darren Fletcher who couldnt hit a cow's arse with a shovel then his pass always gets intercepted and its the final pass of the move.

trivial to most i know but gets on monkeys nerves anyway
