Sorry for this stupid rant, but a lot of people here use the term cache when they mean cachet. Cachet means superior status or prestige. Cache is a hiding place, or a hidden object. When we're talking about teams we'd like to associate with it's due to their cachet, not cache.
Sorry, pet peeve, and too many Playa Blancas to drink here in Cancun.
Thank you. I kept thinking something was wrong with the internet connection at MSG.
It's been raining here the last 2 days. Nothing to do but sit at the bar, drink, and play on the internet with my tablet.
Thanks for that. Honestly wasn't aware, you'd think it'd have come up in all those English classes I took. Always thought it was one of those dual meaning words. Will effort to improve upon that in the future.
Cachet vs cache is a "pet peeve?"

What about their/there/they're that graduates seem to have a hard time understanding--seems like a better (easier) place to start.
From there we can move to ......'to be honest'......honestly'.....'in all honesty'......as if this qualifier is needed to begin a thought.

Pet Peeve #2
The proper term is, "I could not care less"

Chicos, you've been off Scoop too long. I think it's pretty clear chapman meant to do that ;)
How about the your vs. you're dilemma?
The one that raises my blood pressure is "looser" and "loosing".

Don't you mean your "table"?

Since I geocache it just kind of grabs my attention.
Hey, I thought we were seeking teams with a cache. With the cache being a hidden group of TV watching fans.
As vs. has, just try explaining the difference between those two words to someone.

Alot. Well done.
As long as we are discussing things that grind our gears I have to say that I die a little inside each time someone says should of or could of instead of should have or could have.
