I originally saw this topic on Reddit, but what are some seemingly miniscule things that a person could say to you that would make you instantly loathe them?[quote][/quote]I was at Subway and heard a girl pronounce the word 'Italian' as "Eye-talian," the most white trash butchering of a word's pronunciation that I can think of. It's a pet peeve of mine for sure, and it may be a small mistake, but it never fails to raise my blood pressure some.
Eye-literacy must really be a bitch.

Anytime someone talks in a specific way with the goal of sounding smart. Red flags are phrases like "so to speak", "per se", or excessive jargon. The goal of speaking is to be understood, not to impress others.
