It just gets to me when people go around correcting other people's spelling - 's' to 'z' with the assumption that they are right. It irritates me because I was brought up to spell the British way, and if I don't go out of my way to correct how US people spell their words I don't see why they have to do it to me. Ohh - that would make me angry; my psych and English lecturers use to penalise us every time we use the American spelling. I love them so very much. Hmm, Firefox just picked up 'penalise' as wrong. Whatever.
The latest thing that got to me was the whole SPN fiasco with the episode title - "The Kids Are Alright" - people were bitching because apparently that's not how you spell 'alright', it is meant to be 'all right' (which to me have differing implications). After the 4th post with the same complaint I wanted to scream at them. Yes, it is a small thing, but it definitely shows a lack of consideration and awareness of the rest of the world.
In conclusion - ALRIGHT! PENALISE! FORMALISE! ETC.!
