Our planet is home to billions of people with unique quirks and traits – and every single one of us holds different opinions.
Is eating breakfast for dinner acceptable? How essential is a college education? Is social media creating a toxic culture or helping us stay connected? Is Shrek the best-animated movie ever? The list could go on and on, but you get the gist.
Some might argue that being overly opinionated is somewhat frowned upon – however, everybody perceives life in their own way. Distinct opinions foster debate – and debate is great, as you get the opportunity to view the world through someone else’s eyes:

#5 Adding Apostrophe S At The End Of A Word Doesn’t Make It Plural
Adding ‘s at the end of a word does not make it plural.
I’ve seen it in ads. I’ve seen it on signs. I’ve even seen it on a flyer someone wrote advertising their services as a writer.
People walk around like it’s normal! Out in the street! Saying that they have 14 chicken’s! Like monsters!
I will die on this hill over and over until my assembled corpses make it into a slightly bigger hill.

#7 When A Kid Has A Birthday, Only They Get To Blow Out The Candles
When a kid has a birthday, only HE gets to blow out the candles! It INFURIATES me to my very soul when I see other kids try to blow them out. The only thing worse is when adults LET THEM.

#14 Use The Left Lane For Passing, And Then Get Back Into The Right Lane
Use the left lane for passing and then get back into the doggone right lane. Grew up in Germany where that’s enforced on the Autobahn. American left lane hogs drive me nuts, especially when they go five miles under the speed limit. What’s the friggin’ point?

#22 Sidewalk And Hallway Traffic Should Move Like Road Traffic
Sidewalk and hallway traffic should move like road traffic. Stick to the side of the sidewalk or hallway based on the direction you are going. I will not move out of my way for you if you are walking on the wrong side.

#23 It’s A PIN, Not PIN Number
It is a PIN, not a PIN number. PIN stands for personal identification number.
Just like it is an ATM, not an ATM machine.

#27 An Apology Should Be Used When You’re Genuinely Sorry
An apology should be used when you are genuinely sorry, not as absolution; it should also not be expected to be forgiven, either.
Edit: As a Canadian, I’ll concede that I do use “sorry” several times a day in the most seemingly mundane of situations, but trust me; I am sorry I am in your way.

#30 “Divide And Conquer”
So many people, movies and TV shows misuse the phrase “divide and conquer”.
It doesn’t mean “to split up and attack on multiple fronts”, which is a horrible idea for military strategy on the grand scale of armies.
It means to divide your enemy, and conquer them one by one.
