[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM-specific list (and yes, I know these are beyond trivial, and no, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about them): Referring to your kiddo or kiddos. It's cutsey and annoying. Just say kids, or children. [b]Also, the constant use of the DH, DW, DS, DD convention. Unless you refer to your "dear husband" and "dear daughter" in everyday conversation (which is in and of itself ridiculous), you're misusing the abbreviations. And if you're so pressed for time that you can't be bothered to type out the word "husband" perhaps you should stop freakin' posting and get back to whatever you should be doing. [/b] [b]People who type f*ck or sh*t. Come on. Does it really make it better if you don't type the whole word out? If you want to curse, fucking curse. Own it. [/b] [b]When someone complains about the bratty behavior of some kid at the park/grocery store/school/movies/wherever, the inevitable response, "What if the kid has special needs?" Yes, of course some kids have special needs, and different standards and expectations apply to them. But more likely it's a kid who is just acting like a brat. It's OK to complain about that kid without paragraph long caveats that this gripe doesn't apply to special needs kids.[/b] People who start every response post with some derivative of, "I'm so sorry, OP" when the complaint is that her husband (see how easy it is to type the whole word out?!) doesn't pick up his socks, or acts like a fucking douchebag (again, see how easy it is?), or something similarly trivial. If she's announced she has cancer, then please, offer your sympathy. But most often, it's shallow, saccarine empathy from someone who remembers from her Psychology 101 class, "Women are more empathetic, and men are problem solvers." Shit - I need to get a life. [/quote] LOVE IT! [/quote]
