  1. It's funny because proper grammar is something that triggers people and brings up a lot of grade school trauma. But it's nowhere near as bad as being triggered by expectations of doing basic math problems in your head. I've seen people go off at the mere suggestion that they be able to calculate something simple like they've been bullied all their life and now it's time to lash out lol.

     

    There's actually a whole area of psychology called "Mathematical anxiety" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_anxiety

  2. And yet irregardless is acceptable vernacular, when you're not with grammar Nazis.

    Acceptable vernacular??? lol no, not acceptable in any shape or form - has nothing to do with nazi anything. I hope you don't use that word because people are laughing at you when you do. It's not accepted at all it's just completely incorrect.

     

    The word is either "regardless" or "irrespective". "irregardless" is just plain failing to properly speak English.

  3. Athletes should just play

     

    no kidding - talk about hockey, yourself, or shut up and play. Nobody wants to hear what athletes think about politics, it just ruins sports in general which is supposed to be a diversion. Be a Trumper or Hillarian in private I don't care and I don't want to hear anything about it or their social agendas

     

    I blame ESPN more than anything for veering political for controversy and ratings. They've done so much damage to the enjoyability of sports in general

  4. This guy is nothing but a walking temper tantrum.

    With that being said, it's absolutely asinine that this is even a case. Bike lanes exist for a reason. Get the fuck out of them.

    This is coming from someone who is a motorist and pedestrian and have ridden a bike in my adulthood about three total times.

     

    He was riding an e-scooter in that lane, I don't think that's allowed and he admits to ramming the car on purpose. He's totally going to jail
