My peeve: excessive erudition. ONE person place or thing (in this case, "a peeve") IS. Two or more people.........

Usually.

Golly gee, Sash ol' bro', I couldn't stay mad at you, all the peevers are one big happy family.......

I feel a group hug coming on, so I will take my leave.

'Greasy'. Peeved when pronounced 'greaZy'. As in 'Sasha, you greaZy little slimeball!' It should of course be 'Sasha, you greaSy little slimeball!'

'A film adaption of the book'. Grrrrrrr! How's that for language change? Still wrong, though. Officially added to the peeve list.

We are not. But some of us are indeed peeved off.

Yes, I'm very peeved off. But the struggle will turn to triumph and a glorious future awaits all the faithful!

'The USSR was a Communist state'. This peeves due to its political incorrectness. The USSR was a socialist state (hence the second 'S' in its name) attempting to build communism. It's a little bit like calling the USA a democracy when in fact it is a constitutional republic.

'Orientate'. A peeve not for the word itself but for being endlessly told that it is wrong.
