MASSIVE Pet Peeve Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hon. Dr. in Acts-celeratology Posts: 6042 **3/29/17 6:02 pm**

If there is one (1) thing I HATE, yea, two (2) that are an abomination, it is that group of three or four (3 or 4) MILLION (1,000,000) people that need be beaten by ten (10) baseball bats at once.

Do they think we can read numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...), but not words?

Are they missing half (1/2) of their brain?

I mean, if a person can't read words, how far do you imagine they will get with numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...)?

So, there is my one (1) massive pet peeve for today. Tomorrow, I may share the second (2nd) one (1).

I'm laughing at Cojak's joke, but I did actually have to read it 2 (two) times, myself.
I actually like the reinforcement. Whenever I see a very large number, I have to count in groups of 3 (three) from the right to determine if it's a million (1,000,000) or what-have-you. Also, if one (1 person in general)makes a typo and has one (1) letter off in a word, we can usually figure it out from context, but if one (1) digit is off in a number, we're sunk unless we have that parenthetical explanation. The other thing is that, when spoken, million (1,000,000) and billion (1,000,000,000) are not very distinct from one (1) another. Ha, that last one (1) was especially for Aaron.
I'm looking forward with anticipation to Aaron's second pet peeve.

Bonnie, if there's one (1) thing I can't stand...

Words do reinforce math. No truer words were spoken. When you know that "of" means "times (x)," it makes word problems a lot simpler.
"Is" means "equals" ("=").
"What" means "a variable" ("n").

For example, twenty-five (25) IS WHAT percent OF seventy-five (75)?
25 = N% x 75

Oh, and 70 x 7 pretty much means as much as needed.

Aaron, you're gonna love this. I read a while back about a culture that doesn't have numbers. Small quantities are called one or two. Beyond that, they just say "many."
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/07/080714111940.htm

So, maybe subtract three hundred (300) from the seven billion (7,000,000,000) other people in the world who are putting numbers in parentheses. Wink

How does "of" mean times?

Hon. Dr. in Acts-celeratology Posts: 6042 **4/1/17 6:40 am**

For instance if I wanted to multiply 12 x 12, how would I say that with "of"? Seriously. I'll probably remember the moment you respond, but I can't get that right now.

My pet peeves?

Acts Mod Posts: 25305 **4/1/17 3:49 pm**

Habitually late people
People who clip their nails are in church
Starting all services local or state late
People who pass me and slow down
Stopping at SAMs Club sample tables and talking endlessly to the server. MUNCH AND MOVE!!!!!

I will probably think of others later

OK, if ya really wanna know, here is some a OTCP's pet peeves:

1. Folk with COG credentials but WOF beliefs/doctrines/practices. If ya gonna be a woffie, surrender ya credentials and connect with Copeland.

2. Unethical preachers claimin academic credentials they ain't got. They is plenty a other stuff to lie about, why lie about that?

3. Puttin chewin gum under the pew after ya chew it. If ya gonna put it there, leave it in the wrapper so somebody else can chew it.

4. Transcribed sermons where 3/4 of what was said was "Somebody slap ya neighbor an say 'the devil is under my feet' or 'can't git no help up in here.'"

5. Preachers who yell "Let me tell you a THING." What is a THING?

6. Singers gittin up to sing an sayin, "Yall pray fer me, I ain't had time to practice." Well set down then, cause ya shore had time to watch Honey Boo Boo or Greenlief.

7. The SYSTEM. What is the SYSTEM?

8. White preachers goin into ethnic mode when they start preachin. You don't talk like at at Wal Mart, so why preach like at?

9. Preachers in skinny jeans, prancin, dancin, light loaferin, an makin a mockery a the ministry.

10. Folk sayin, "The Holy Ghost told me," when the Holy Ghost ain't told em nothin.
