Ahhhh, come on man, you have to let the Howdy pass. Thats just a literal and verbal slice of Americana right there. To dislike this word is akin to having distain for mom's apple pie, the american flag and a knock out gal in a bikini with a camel toe that just screams, "LICK ME"!

Makes perfect sense, I don't like it when people use it also, because irregardless is a double negative in it's own.

‎"Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation."

This isn't terminology, but I thought of another phrase I hate! haha

"Well, that's your opinion." After someone says something that is objectively wrong. And it's something that I have researched. In full. And could write a book about. And I tell them that. And I tell the person all the facts. And I talk for about 20-30 minutes straight, typically, and that's giving a really shortened version. IT IS NOT AN OPINION. IT IS OBJECTIVE FACT THAT I CAN BACK UP WITH OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS IF YOU WANT ME TO. This is not something that is a matter of opinion; it is concrete and factual.

I have to edit here... I know what is being done with the speaking of that phrase; it's obvious. People can go on believing whatever they want, as long as in their minds it is in the realm of opinion. It's so intellectually dishonest that I could choke the next person who says it to me.

I have never heard the party that's in the right utter that phrase in that context. When it comes to politics or what-have-you, things that truly are matters of opinion, sure (well, there is no wrong or right party in that kind of discussion), but not when it comes to what I'm referring to.

Same thing with, "I don't care," spoken at the same point in the, uh, discussion. Um. Yes, you do care. You cared enough to make a comment in the first place. You cared enough to make a judgment call. Don't tell me you suddenly don't care because I just showed you that you are basing what you believe off a bunch of lies, and you think I'll stop embarrassing you. Shouldn't have formed an opinion you're confident enough to voice in front of others without researching first. Oops.

I have lost all respect for certain people based on those two statements.

I just don't understand their value systems, at all. I'm of the mind that... Well, I'm frequently held up by people who know me as being an encyclopedia of sorts; I was always called an encyclopedia when I was younger because I knew something about everything and would educate the people around me because it was a natural impulse that, in hindsight, probably made me look like a know-it-all, but that wasn't my intent at all. I still do regularly correct people, or just say random things that are connected to something at hand. Anyway, that has led me, if asked a question I don't know the answer to, to look it up later and find the answer and then tell the person who asked it like a week later what it is, long after s/he's stopped caring.... but I still care. I don't know. I'm incredibly particular about making sure I really know things, so I just don't understand when people are comfortable knowing nothing but what their friends tell them or what their TV or newspaper tells them, and they didn't sit around reading encyclopedias and medical textbooks when they were kids, and they don't particularly care about education, and if they do "research," ever, it takes about an hour or less and they only read what they agree with at the start... It's so weird and foreign to me.

Don't worry Jael, I love it when people try to argue with you when you're right on every account.

And when you truly prove them wrong with the images or text of proof they are like, "Whatever"

_________________

It helps, too, to have that kind of discussion with other people present. If they agree with the person in the wrong and are sitting there listening to you, because they're not the ones actually arguing the point they are much more apt to hear you out, regardless of how invested they are in the topic at hand. The reliance on a sense of machismo isn't there, and they aren't as blind. Emotions and reliance on tradition and trusting what they've been told can be there, but they aren't as strong without the machismo haha.

lol I have to edit this post, too, for more clarification.... I can't even get smug when someone is clearly wrong because I so highly value correct thought (whole other discussion there oh my word) based on correct information. It just makes me sad (well, angry in the moment; sadness comes later) because people are so tightly bound to foolishness.

What a derail.

I shouldn't care because I don't even know whether I use the right phrases or not, but I'm always scratching my head over double negatives like:

"Ain't no mountain high enough"
"We don't need no education..." huh?

Does it annoy you even more when people don't enunciate it properly and say "aksh'lly"? That's how I pronounce it in everyday conversation.

Going off that... I also find it annoying when people think that opinions can't be wrong. Like, all because it's your opinon it for some reason can't be wrong. Well guess what, they can be. In my opinion.

haha Oh, yeah, I think so, too. I mean, there's a whole lot of room for subjectivity in plenty of areas, like in different systems of thought... Buuut once you bring factual things into the picture, well, your opinion can be wrong, sorry to say. Ryan Miller's a good example of that hahaha. You can say he's bottom third of the NHL, but stats kind of say otherwise.
