Needs restoration or needs restoring or requires restoration.

Any of the above is better than "Needs restored"

Learn the difference between there, their, and they're.
Learn the difference between to, too, and two.
Learn the difference between pedal, peddle, and petal.
Learn the difference between council and console.

The proof is not in the pudding. The proof of the pudding is in the taste.

There. I said it.

I am totally on board with this as well. One of my others is ending sentences with prepositions. You've got my full backing. Peeve on my friend.

Yikes, I better quit posting. /\

What about people parking over the lines? Wheeeeeeeee.

[punkin]

Well, that's not parking. That's just stopping without any skill, intent or ability.

We Agree! Or sense of social duty!

My pet peeve:

People that proclaim opinion as truth.

How about people who have the time to write "Low Miles" but don't give you the numbers. You should never have to ask for a price or the mileage! Give me the numbers and I will decide whether or not its low.

People bitchin about "off shore" products being crap all the time .......
I have imported more than my fair share of "off shore" products that were made in the good ol US of A that we're pure crap.
I totally get patriotism and pride in ones country and achievements, but this overiding sense of no one else can do it better than Merica, gets a little tiresome.
Especially when there are plenty of places that can.
People keep bitchin about off shore products ruining the local economy, but people keep buying them.....
Sometimes it just takes an outside observation to highlight the obvious ��.
Don't get me wrong, I have purchased plenty of great things from very talented people over there, just not everything.

I hate when people word things like that. I see it all the time with items listed for sale.

Example: " I have a carburetor for sale, needs rebuilt. "

Stop and think about that for a second. Say it out loud if you need to. People don't talk like that, so why type like that?

Pet peeves, hmmmmm where to start I used to have several, until I almost wasn’t here in this world anymore. Those things were all trivial in the big scheme of things. Now I try very hard not to sweat the little things. I’m a much more tolerant happy person.

Likewise, people who proclaim truth as opinion just because they don't agree with it.

Yes....fortunately I had a few meticulous English teacher who stressed these word differences.
Another benefit to this teaching is being able to decipher improper word usage...

Nice catch, grasshopper..... I was waiting for an observant genius to come by.
And in response to your question....I would suspect I "earned" yours, plus a few more....

That one is aggravating as hell! When you type it out like that, all I can imagine is some backwoods toothless moron who cant speak properly due to his blow out face.

Just awful.

[locomotivebreath]

Why do people spell cheby or Chebby ? Is it just another case of typing fast on a cell since the b is next to v ? Some guys seem to do it as a catch phrase .
