beer is plural
i can’t stand when people say beers. beer. not beers. “there’s beers out on the porch.” no no. there is beer out on the porch. the only time it is acceptable to use the word beers is when you are talking about a specific quantity. i.e. “i drank 3 beers last night.”

Yep – Three cans of beer, five bottles of beer. The plural goes to the type of container.
Or, if you’re talking about different types of beers, ie: imported vs. domestic and boutique vs. commercial, etc. Like fishes: cod vs. tilapia, and catfish vs. striped bass.
It irritates me when people don’t capitalize letters.
especially ‘I’
You know the solution to lowering the irritation level? Drink some beers. Maybe some vodkas for that matter. (sigh) Some peoples…
I kind of agree, also “those ones” is crazy annoying, but they could say “there are beers out on the porch”, that would be ok. I only point it out because you might be looking for it so much that you don’t notice the when it is alright. btw karim you made me chuckle
You can also say “there are beers on the porch”
So what is the point of this? I mean… nothing is here. There is some stuff you have done, some stuff you don’t like, and more stuff you don’t like. Then you talk about the way someone does something and how it annoys you, while you do similar things. Such as in this post, when you go into your disdain for the mispluralization of the word “beer” while you yourself ignore capitolization and sentence fragments. It isn’t that I think you shouldn’t be entitled to such opinions, I simply think that these things are more suited for a diary, or maybe conversations with friends. Or do you publicize these things because you have no friends and feel the need to compensate by drawing attention from random strangers on the internet?
It irritates me when people use i.e. instead of e.g.
umm, helixer, i.e. and e.g. mean different things, they should be used in different situations, sometimes i.e. is correct. e.g means example, i.e. means “that is”
oooops, my bad, what is also annoying is when people don’t read or think in any way before they write a smart ass comment, thus undermining any wit that was previously there
There is no wit in complaining about grammar and then not using it properly in your own comments and post. That’s just ridiculous.
