    Wtf. What other reason is there but for the sake of it? Its our language and its dying. You can either use a cupla focail 'for the sake of it' or just write it off altogether.

    This really annoys me too. The British all say euros, everyone of them. It’s “euro”
    The 's' plural rule does not apply as it’s not an English word
    “euro”
    Don't the Spanish and Portuguese (and others) say uno/um euro, dos/dois euros..?

    I think it depends on the region and what the previous currency was like that dictates this (in practice), rather than one way is wrong, this way is right.

    When meeting someone in a business setting for the first time, they pause in their conversation for extra special effect and their tone has a level of theatrical gravity that they learned in the billy Barry school of acting when they were there.

    People who act outraged when someone posts something that inexplicably turns them against people in a thread called "things that inexplicably turn you against someone". :rolleyes:

    You think the people who inject a cupla focail into an otherwise English conversation (usually after a few pints) are preventing the Irish language from being written off altogether? Why not go and learn it properly (like some people do) instead of just blathering on about an bhfuil aon craic when you've had a few too many :)

    On boards if someone attempts to disguise a "swear word" that doesn't actually fall under the remit of the swear filter.

    (apparently the real reason for these is in case the car is involved in an accident and emergency services then know to look for a baby/small child)

    This is a common misconception. Google it. Its not like parents put up the sign when the kids are in the car, and take them down when they aren't.

    If parents think that's how paramedics work, then fair enough. Can't blame them for wanting to protect their kids. It just doesn't reflect reality.

    Just want to add to my own comment: It also annoys me when people say “Gardas”
    It’s an Irish word, the plural for Garda is Gardaí (i.e. the í is the irish version of s)
    "Gardaí"

    People who use Garda as the plural. Like nails down a blackboard...

    People who are 25+ and don't have a passport or a driver's licence. What are you DOING with your life?

    I also judge people who spell badly or use text speak. I know it's not very nice of me but I pretty much write them off as thick... :o

    *But wait, they just want to emulate their life-ling hero, Mcgregor whose career they've been following since his days on the streetz. By doing so it will help them to move up the fighting ranks quicker, everyone knows the top knot gives +4 charisma.

    They carry on like a crowd of dinguses.

    The aimless waffle of fat stupid women.












    Fat stupid men too, but you can tell them to STFU so they're less annoying.

    People who are avid fans of science fiction/fantasy films, novels and t.v. shows.

    Other guys who dislike all sports.

    Fussy, pedantic people.

    Religion!

    If on the first day of meeting a person their conversation is peppered with 'praise Jesus', 'I have been praying for.......' and constant religious references in all conversations completely unrelated to religion, I'm not going to be particulary interested in any further interactions.

    The other side of the coin being atheists announcing to you their atheism even if the conversation is not even tangentially related to religious/spiritual matters.

    I have nothing against secular people (I am one) just atheists who won't shut the f**k up about their atheism and the "evils" of religion.
