ARG! Me Speak Angry Words!

Normally I don't blog while pissed off, but here comes the return of the Few Minutes Hate!

I just had a stupid argument with Jetboy about Language. As in the uses of spoken and written words. So I said I hate when people don't use Language correctly, and essentially I mean that when people misuse words, use irritating slang, and generally make no sense, it annoys me. I don't respect people who use "like" 300 times in a sentence, and I do my best not to overuse the word. I want words to mean what they do in the dictionary.

I am not claiming to be perfectly proficient with the English language. I use slang, I sometimes use words incorrectly, etc. But I work to amend those mistakes, and I really respect the language in its official form. I do not think that the organic outgrowths of language, such as dialect, are wrong exactly, just less correct, because they are NOT agreed upon universally, and it is the universal agreement of a group consensus that creates official language.

I was saying it's a pet peeve. But Jetboy latches on to things I say sometimes and drags them out for a very long time, until I tell him repeatedly that I am done, but he keeps hammering away, and it really sucks. I just don't CARE that much. I don't like arguing with him, and I told him so. He likes arguing.

What am I supposed to do? Now I feel so full of rage that I want to punch things, but that's a waste of energy and time. I pointed out that he argues as if he is Right, and usually he has no more valid a point than I do.

So why am I with a person that makes me feel so mad? At the moment, I frankly don't know. I do every single favor I can think of for this person, and at times like this I feel like taking them all back.

Later I may take this post down. But for now, this agression will stand.
