Journalist overuse of "in terms of", especially in terms of print media.
Starting conversations and sentences with "I mean." If you haven't yet said anything, why are you trying to explain what you meant? It has bugged me ever since athletes and others on TV started doing it.
And guess who is starting to do it herself? It's funny how you start to adopt speech patterns you heard a lot, even if you dislike them.

Philistine.
My wife mentioned this as a halloween costume. I'm thinking a dildo through the hole instead of a thumb as I hold the palette at waist height would be the only way to make it remotely interesting.

Ya i have already seen this costume like 3 different times this year. Played out.
Adding the dildo would make it unique at least.

Both of my parents are blind as a bat. I got their genes and have terrible eyesight as well. I was -3.75 in both of my eyes back in 2011 and had PRK eye surgery. The surgery, besides hurting for a week or so (and I had the epithelial of my eye rubbed off playing basketball about a month after sugery - worst night of my life - eye pain is the worst and unless you have numbing drops, there's nothing you can do about it) worked pretty well and I could see 20/20 for about two years. Then my eyes started going bad again and have progressively gotten worse each year. I wear contacts or glasses now and lately, it's been really hard to see what I write on my phone or to keep what I write in focus. I feel like my dyslexia has gotten 10x's worse because of it - words on the screen move or pop-out more than others and following words left to write is hard (I see paragraphs not individual words.) I like to edit my posts after I post because, for whatever reason, it's easier to see but lately, I've noticed my sentences are getting bad. I'm either flipping things, repeating things, skipping words or I mean to write something and my brain computes it, but I write something completely different. EDIT: While editing this post, I've corrected two things where I've done that. For example, I wanted to write, "worst night of my life" but instead I wrote, "was night in my life."
I'm not sure if PRK screwed up my vision because I feel my eyesight has never been the same since surgery. I know I've never been the strongest writer and have always struggled to articulate myself, but damn, I feel like it's getting worse. It might be from always posting on my phone too. I'm on a laptop and it seems to be much easier to see what I'm writing so maybe I'll start posting from this more often.
Anyway, my pet peeve is my eyesight. You people who can see, you're lucky sobs.

My uncorrected vision is worse than what yours was. But it's held steady for the last three years. Thinking seriously about Lasik. At my last eye doc appointment, he said I'd be a candidate. Just gotta pull the trigger.
