"It's murder on our love affair."

Some of George's Peeves:

1 - When song titles use the word "Runaway" instead of "Run Away" when the line they are drawing from for the title is as in "I will run away" not "I am a runaway." Del Shannon is fine; he means she's a runaway. Cher, the Corrs, Janet Jackson, Avril Lavigne, and Pink have all pissed me off and written their track as "Runaway" when they mean "Run Away." And what's worse: I like each of those songs!

2 - Ditto that for "Everyday" and to a lesser extent, "Anyday." Damn it Sheryl Crow and Ani DiFranco. Unless you mean an "Everyday event" stop it! Every...day is a winding road! Not everyday! Raaaaghhh! "Anyday" seems more stylistic for DiFranco, really, as if she means "anyday event."

Raaagh.

I know exactly where you're coming from with this. (Oh and I love that Del Shannon song. In fact I like a lot of his songs!)

I get frustrated when I see 'alright' written down when it should be 'all right'. But that's just one of my peeves and I have many more. (Like seeing the word 'mens' on shop windows... where's the apostrophe?)
