Verse/versing (bet you didn't guess that ...)

"Bias" when you should have used "biased"., ie., "I am bias.". No you're not, you have bias, but you are biased.

Apostrophe abuse (except for 'its"/'it's" coz I always get that wrong).

Lazy fluffybunny, get out of your car and ride

You could have at least done the decent thing and linked the actual music video for that song.

fluffybunnies who use spreadsheets like they are pieces of paper for them to make their coloured drawings on.
worthless generalists trying to tell specialists how to do things: H&S, compliance/regulatory, 'management'.

people concreting the fuck out of sections so they can be 'low-maintenance'.
fat fluffybunnies with supermarket trolleys full of coke and chips.

fucking clickbait shit:
'10 reasons why... Number 6 will make you...'
'person xyz DESTROYS person abc' on your chosen topic of confirmation bias.

morons with strong opinions.
and whingers. them too.

People who can't use capital letters.

I'm adding grumpy old men who post on the internet while under the influence, especially when it's me. (Note the correct apostrophe usage.)

That’s part of the buggeration that is the English language. There is no H in aitch. While we’re at it, which cruel bastard spelled lisp with an s. So unfair.

Actually it varies - and is often linked to the Catholic education system here. I don't "haych" but I know people who do.

While we're at it: Catholics. Sure my wife and kids are nominally Catholic, but fucking Catholics.

@Catogrande similarly dyslexia, fir dyslexics...

And the ultimate insult, if you were prone to made up conditions and were diagnosed with a fear of long words, your condition would be Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
