Pet Peeves

One of Ross's pet peeves is contractions. He thinks they should be banned. People have no idea what they are really saying when they use contractions and it irks me when they use them and mess up subject-verb agreement (one of my pet peeves). I think the word there's should be banned. I keep hearing over and over again "there's (insert plural of noun here)." I heard it on the news the other night "There's trucks here." or something like that. I found myself pointlessly telling the television that "There are trucks here!"
We all have our pet peeves. I just think I'm right about all of mine and everyone should do as I say. So stop saying there's. Thank you.

How funny. I've been considering posting my top ten pet peeves but then I can't think of them at the moment I want to write that post. THERE'S JUST SO MANY THINGS I COULD LIST!
