- My inability to resist the nail lady's insistence that she paint tiny white flowers on my toenails, resulting in what I will term "trashiness."
- Those who call Knott's Berry Farm "Knotsbury Farm," as if it is a hamlet in Northern England, rather than an amusement park in Southern California.
- The misleadingly attractive term "cocktail" as refers to a mix of prescription drugs.
- Christina Aguilera's abbreviation of her name to Xtina, only because the X has the T inherent in it, as in Xmas, rather than Xtmas. No one else on Earth cares about this but me. And even I can't get too worked up about it.
- The vanity plate on a burgundy-colored sports car I pass frequently on the highway, reading LIL UVA. Assuming that "uva" means "grape," I find two flaws with the plate, as follows: 1) The car is many times larger than a grape, hence, the plate should read BIG UVA. 2) There is the perfectly valid Latin word UVULA, a diminutive of the word UVA. Again, no one else on Earth cares about this.
- Realizing that I am, and have always been, a pedantic geek at heart.
