what really grinds my gears

[fishmamma]

Not having any gum when I wanna smoke a cig..

YOU'RE a vid!

Hey, only I can say stuff like that...

 

[Juxtaroberto]

When a show I like, which hasn't aired new episodes for about a month, gets moved yet another week ahead and is instead replaced by Nikita.

When birds poop on my car.

When our upstairs neighbors have a bajillion visitors over and they run around, clopping like horses.

When people complain that others use big words. Expand your own vocabulary, don't expect others to dumb theirs down for you.

When common Joes and Janes reject valid, and generally very well substantiated scientific theories, and yet cannot answer simple questions about the theory, or have such a poor understanding of them that they tend to confuse them with other theories, or think they state something they don't. This becomes even more ingratiating when they ask abysmally stupid questions with the smug certainty that they've got you cornered, such as, "If there is GW, why is it getting colder?" and "How could the universe have come from nothing, according to the theory of evolution."

Yes, I can take cheap shots too in an unrelated thread.

No people use big words to show their intelligent, and people who don't understand them have poor vocabulary... Read the dictionary conundrum solved

People use big words to show their intelligent? Their intelligent what?

Sorry, but one thing that really grinds my gears is poor grammar. It is especially important to use proper English if you are trying to show others that you're intelligent.

"How could the universe have come from nothing, according to the theory of evolution."

It's a theorie no one has 100% proof if it's true or not. That why its called a THEORIE.

It's theory......and I hate ppl who argue against scientific evidence that supports theories they don't support. Especially sense 90% aren't smart enough to actually comprehend the theory.

Here are two defintions of theory

contemplation or speculation. .
guess or conjecture.

If you notice theory dosn't mean fact.

Theory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Theory (disambiguation).
Originally the word theory is a technical term from Ancient Greek. It is derived from theoria, θεωρία, meaning "a looking at, viewing, beholding", and refers to contemplation or speculation, as opposed to action.[1] Theory is especially often contrasted to "practice" (Greek praxis, πρᾶξι&#962 a concept that in its original Aristotelian context referred to actions done for their own sake, but can also refer to "technical" actions instrumental to some other aim, such as the making of tools or houses. "Theoria" is also a word still used in theological contexts.
A classical example uses the discipline of medicine to explain the distinction: Medical theory and theorizing involves trying to understand the causes and nature of health and sickness, while the practical side of medicine is trying to make people healthy. These two things are related but can be independent, because it is possible to research health and sickness without curing specific patients, and it is possible to cure a patient without knowing how the cure worked.[2]
While theories in the arts and philosophy may address ideas and not easily observable empirical phenomena, in modern science the term "theory", or "scientific theory" is generally understood to refer to a proposed explanation of empirical phenomena, made in a way consistent with the scientific method. Such theories are preferably described in such a way that any scientist in the field is in a position to understand, verify, and challenge (or "falsify") it. In this modern scientific context the distinction between theory and practice corresponds roughly to the distinction between theoretical science and technology or applied science. A distinction is often made in science between theories and hypotheses, which are theories that are not considered to have been satisfactorily tested or proven
