A couple pet peeves...

[Hordo]

From a recent thread

CANNON


DOES NOT EQUAL

CANON
can·on Noun
1. A member of the clergy on the staff of a cathedral, esp. a member of the chapter.
2. A general law, rule, principle, or criterion by which something is judged
*emphasis added.

This is compounded by:

ROUGE


DOES NOT EQUAL

ROGUE
rogue/rōg/
Verb: Remove inferior or defective plants or seedlings from (a crop).
Noun: A dishonest or unprincipled [person].
*emphasis added.

And a tad less infuriating:

TOMB


DOES NOT EQUAL

TOME
(from the wiki)
A tome is a special book that will permanently increase the Ability stat that it effects.
*emphasis added.


There, that is my rant for the year.

And now you can contribute your pet peeves!

I'm with you all the way on this.

If you can't spell it, maybe you should spend more time on 5th grade vocabulary and less time in DDO.

[ProdigalGuru]

Since he is not calling out any one person in particular, and started his own post about it, I highly doubt he will get an infraction.

[voodoogroves]

Irregardless, its a mute point.

My head just asploded.

"Rouge" is not makeup, "maquillage" is.
"Rouge" = "red"

[~KatsMeow]

Ya know what my pet peeve is. That guy in Phiarlan who is Rouge and people call him Rogue. Just annoys the bejeebis out of me!

[Hordo]

"Rouge" is not makeup, "maquillage" is.
"Rouge" = "red"

C'est vrai!

But, rouge is also a type of maquillage that comes in powdered form in order to render the cheeks "rouge".

[NostalithilDarkstar]

that's called "poudre a joues"

Arkat's Pet Peeves

he was going to post there... but he had someone at the door.... then he needed to have a bio..... then he had to afk.

[Zillee]

When folk are talking on voice and call the melees mellies, rather than melays.

[Aztek]

I'm annoyed by this really fat guy i keep end up Pugging with in the same quest. I think his name is Peter.

He must be a Heavy RePeter.

(2/3 of a Pun... P.U.!)

P.S. around these here parts, my Cannon IS Canon and my Rogue wears Rouge.

"me-lay" is the original french pronounciation whereas mel-ee is the americanised version, both can be correct.

However "me-lay" is more common.

You are a soul stone. <--- CORRECT

You're a soul stone. <--- ALSO CORRECT

[Rydin_Dirtay]

I think that guy should just arrest Chai for posting that.

[Hordo]

Man, apparently I peeved someone off! LOL

Got the old bad greenis slap from someone.

Should I include that as a pet peeve? The anonymous bad greenis?

However "me-lay" is more common.

I don't think so, it's pronounced "may-lay" not "meh-lie", or "meh-lay", or "mee-lee". There is only one correct way to say it. T
