You named pretty much all of them, HB.
One of my particular Pet Peeves is poor and lack of spelling. Mainly with unnecessary abbreviations. I don’t know why it bothers me so, but it does. The thought of someone abusing their language and their knowledge just for a faster type. When there are people who really cant comprehend as well, and really don’t have such knowledge to be able to properly spell correctly. Just irritates me is all.

As for hackers, I've been fortunate enough to never had a hacker invade my computer system.

EDIT: Another Pet Peeve of mine is when someone calls the original movie of a series number one. Like Nightmare on Elm Street 1. Friday the 13th 1. Halloween 1. That just irritates the Hell out of me...

If you cant spell you have no right to be 'expressing yourself' on a forum.
Its fucking annoying and rather than punch someone in the face (which i could actually do quite effectively) i would rather get a grip on their uneducated asses and drag them back into school where they belong.
Typos are common ... the inability to spell looks like a cry for help to me. It's forum pollution.

Poor SPELLING can be annoying as hell, but thats about the only sound argument I can see. Usually you can still read it. I don't like it myself.

Like is said "People that flip out about spelling. Get a grip."
Its a waist of time bitching about it ALL THE TIME. Every damn fourm does it. Thats what bugs me the most. OMG THE INTERWEB, MUST TYPE AND SPELL PERFECTLY.
Often people are bitching about abbreviations.... the inability to spell is quite different from the short cuts than of the laziness of not picking up a dictionary.

"If you cant spell you have no right to be 'expressing yourself' on a forum"
Thats quite a lot of people in this counrty and the world that are no longer able to express themselves... :rolleyes: I guess that filters out all the crap

email jokes that threaten you if you dont forward.

email jokes that make you scroll down for the punchline and as you're scrolling you see the line :
"wait for it" etc ..

stupid shit ass ... i delete those without reading them.

I hate those that say forward to 10 people immediately--I'm guilty of forwarding a lot of crap I think is funny--but I'm VERY selective who I forward to.

Avast!

Avast antivirus is free--and I like it a helluva lot better than McAfee or Norton--easier to use and it interferes a lot less with your computer usage.

heaven forbid we give people a reason to better themselves.
I dont give a shit about one or two here or there .. or even short forms THAT MAKE SENSE ...

but when i see someone chronically advertising their ignorance ..
fuck it - it's like fingernails on a blackboard.

Learn to spell before you learn to turn on a PC.
Anyone who thinks they dont have to know how to spell to get by in life is in for a world of pain..

The one thing that pisses me off that no one has mentioned, is people that don't seem to know what a "Caps lock" button is.
