Yes, a stock that goes from $8 to $24 has increased by 100%. Because 100% is the maximum number.

Your posting is 112% worse than average.

explode, extinguish, the "ex", examine... all words that start with a silent vowel. I never understood this.

Along the same lines, a lot of things about the English language piss me off. That being said, I'm very happy that it's one of the most common languages in the world. It makes my life much easier because I know it.

It is frustrating to see the horrible things that people do to it. There are letter/word omissions, grammatical tragedies, intentional misuse of words, memes, and the list goes on. But it's hard to get too pissed because the language has all kinds of gotchas built in to it anyway.

"Eye eight you're stake." - This sentence would be fine on radio.

One trait I loved about Spanish is that words are pronounced just as they are written. This seems so intuitive. Intuitive as in, "Of course, why wouldn't speech and writing have that close of a relationship?"

I had someone call me once and try to give a phonetic spelling of her last name. Say her last name was Franks. She said "F as in Phillip." I said "excuse me, do you mean P as in push?" She said "No, F as in fill- like you fill a bucket of water".

For some reason I thought it was hilarious.

It has tripled, you idiot.

Your face has tripled.

another way to say tripled is "increased by 200%"

When people tell me they saw me driving in my car, or at the mall or whatever. Big deal.

When I tell people that I saw them driving in their car or at the mall or whatever and they don't get excited.

24 is the highest number anyway.

My country's absolute obsession with class.

loooool how are you this dumb?

When I'm watching a sporting event and the score isn't on the screen. Just flipped on a baseball game and literally had to wait like a minute and a half to find out the score. Pitch had just been thrown and then it had the zoom in on batter, showing runner on first, crown panning, etc. I'm impatient when it comes to this ****. Doesn't seem difficult to keep a score bar on the screen throughout the entire game.

have you heard of this amazing new invention called the internet

Usually means someone's up by 6+ runs, they don't want you to see this and turn it right off.

Well in soccer you have to wait 90 minutes for someone to score.

fyp

American soccer bashing...oh wait that should piss me off...

wat. since when is the e silent in those words.

Any time I hear the word "irregardless".

jfc I hate that word

"Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do." Logic has nothing to do with it.

I'd add A-Rod's Cousin to the list, but I'm pretty sure he's trying to piss everyone off at this point.

I think someone saying they are 200% sure of something can be a bit annoying

right. I understand the context. still, answer my question? If you scored perfect plus bonus marks on a test at school would you be all, "this is such bull****!"

Yes. Howling, naked, and draped in depravity; Howard Beale put to shame.

Drawn a picture for this one.



It shouldn't piss me because I do it daily and know what will happen. I think in the back of my mind there's a faint glimmer of hope that one day it will be different.

lol ok. fair enough. all I wanted to know. I don't believe you but I'm often wrong on things.

There is a difference between someone saying they gave 110% effort and a stock increased by 110%.

The first is ****ing stupid and should irritate people. The second example is perfectly normal.
