If you learned only one thing today.

So, like the title says. If you learned only one thing today, let it be:
A lot is two words, not one. Say it with me: A LOT. Not alot. Unless of course you mean allot--to divide up something and hand it out. ...but that's not what you meant, now is it?
It's amazing the things people don't know these days. It's amazing that no matter how many times an English teacher will correct a student on this very point...the student will persist in their incorrect spelling...for life.
Then again, parents don't apparently teach their children anymore to ask if a dog bites before petting. I used to own a dog that wasn't the greatest around strangers. OMG, how many children would just walk right up and try to pet her..the whole time while she's obviously trying to go after them. Stupid kids would just keep on coming. I had this one kid sneak up on my dog and I from behind once. Spooked my dog pretty damned good and when she turned on him and tried to bite his hand...what does the kid do? He reaches down AGAIN to try for another pet. 
I'm not sure who's more to blame for being ignorant: the child, or the children having children today.
So the point to this thread? Post your rant(s), rambling(s), or pet peave(s).
And, by the way, I hate "Reality TV." It's the digital representation of the degradation of society.
And what's with Head of Household Tax credit?? You have to have a dependant or someone else living with you who is not the primary bill payer in order to claim Head of Household?!?!! I live alone. So what if I'm obviously the Head of Household...why should that disqualify me from claiming?
Instant Messengers: Invasion of privacy and an intrusion upon "me time." I have an acquaintance who uses Internet For Dummies (aka AOL) who is obviously hooked on AIM. Rather than send me an email like a normal person...she sends me really ambiguous emails asking "are you home this evening or working?" Now there's an email I'll never answer. If I respond I get "well lets get together and chat." OMFG, NO! What could you possibly say in IM that you can't cover in an email? Yeah, yeah, yeah...I get it. It's a live "conversation" that can be done in real-time without email tag. I don't want to sit there for an hour or more talking about stupid random stuff, feeling obligated to stay because you "want to chat."
The WoW forums: The most wretched hive of scum and villainy. Though it is highly entertaining to see someone try and post constructively (and at length), only to have attrocious spelling errors and bad grammar. That always gets a LAWL out of me.
Why hasn't anyone created a McBurger Queen yet? Take the best of each major chain: Fries, burgers, and ice cream. "Welcome to McBurger Queen, may I take your order, please?"
Drugs--and to a lesser extent, alcohol--are nothing more than a conduit for the weak of mind to transmit their invalid human condition. Thank you for letting me know you are not a "real person" or a "member of society." Now I can go about my way and cast you aside as you should be. Your beacon spares my time, trouble, and peace of mind.
And seriously, what the *heck* is with people who will pull out in front of you trying to go 25 MPH when you are clearly going much faster than they are? My brakes work; please, for the LOVE OF GOD, I don't need to test them. And I don't want to buy your car, grandma. I'm all about driving conservatively (gas-wise as well as aggression-wise); yeah, I know...and I'm American too (doesn't seem possible, eh?). I drive the speed limit, 5 MPH under, and 5 MPH over at max. But, Christ, don't pull out in front of me like a retard with almost no room for me to stop and avoid hitting your dumb @#%.
Which brings another point to mind: The other day I'm driving to work and there's this lady crossing the road pushing a shopping cart back over to the Walgreens on the corner. It's a four lane road; two lanes in each direction. I make a right hand turn, heading north-bound and the car behind me makes the same turn and then gets in the left lane to pass me. This lady, who at this point is roughly in the middle of the road and entering into our side of the street then has three choices: 1) Stop and back up to avoid us. 2) Stop and let the other car get behind me or at least stop for her. OR 3) Try and run across both lanes of traffic, directly into the path of the vehicle going faster (me). OMFG! The gimp lady chooses option #3, runs full speed into my lane while pushing a shopping cart, forcing me to come to an abrupt stop to avoid hitting her. But, wait...it gets better. She hits a fucking lip of concreate at the entry way into the Walgreens parking lot and ...comes...to..a..complete..stop...directly...in...front...of me...shopping cart and all. Not even ten feet to spare. I was dumbfounded. I was so taken aback I couldn't even honk my horn, couldn't roll down the window and yell at her, couldn't cuss profusely at her...all I could do was mutter in an amazed, stuttering, shock: "Fucking...g-g-gimp retard." She of couse seemed completely oblivious to her near death experience.
Twenty-three-year-olds telling someon who is twenty-seven that they are old. Come on, seriously. Yeah, I'm almost thirty, but for God's sake...I'm only four years older than you. Kids these days... Though I must admit, teenagers are beginning to scare me and I've been wondering the last few years what the hell is wrong with kids today.
People who are scornful of video games without knowing a thing about them or even having a clue. At work the other day I hear the following gem: "So what, do you try and beat yourself or something? Is there like a score up on the screen, or what?" Wow... Just. WOW.... This person would be thoroughly shocked and amazed if they saw some modern video games. It's not about jumping barrels to rescue the princess from an evil gorilla anymore, lady. This dumb past-time actually requires some learning and intelligence (though the intelligence I admit is frequently optional). So I respond, "Well, it depends on the game." So what type of games do you usually play, she asks. I pretty much play "online games" (I specifically used that phrase to avoid the trouble of having to explain "MMORPG"). "Oh? How does that work?" Well, you pay a monthly fee of usually about $15 and you can log in and play whenever you want; even the middle of the night, I explained. "Oh, so it's like renting a movie...only you rent games." 
...yeah. There's just not any point to try and explain something to someone who will never really understand without seeing; someone who isn't really interested in seeing. Know what I mean?
A man at work said the other day he had to go home and take the PC away from his son. You see, he's into this really neat game called Runescape that costs like $5 a month to play. Well, his subscription apparently ran out and he went into his mom's room and took her credit card; resubscribed for a block of time at a cost of around $45 or something. "Ah. Good thing it wasn't one of the mainstream, retail games. Those are usually around $15 a month." What?!? No kidding? FIFTEEN DOLLARS A MONTH?!?!? He of couse looked at me like I was spouting some kind of crazy hokus-pokus making fun of him. LAWLS
Rap music is an oxymoron. No further explanation needed.
It baffles me why anyone still plays UO. Seriously, how is that game even still around? Come on, they shut down UX:O to continue work on the original?!?!?!!!? (I shed a tear from time to time for what a great game that could have been.) 
There's nothing I loath more in an MMORPG than someone sending me an unsolicited and completely random group invite without ever speaking a word to me. Especially when they do it from across a zone or on the other side of the game-world. That's an instant declination right there. ...which is usually followed by another invite and a quick: "out group is awsoem, want to join su?" Another declination. The third rapid-succession invite is when I begin to wonder if someone has let their brother with Downs Syndrome onto the internet again. Of course, that's also the same time I break out the "/Ignore Stick." And to be fair, people that spam duel requests kind of count for this as well. GTFO my game, fool.
Getting kind of long in the tooth, so I guess I'll spare you my ramblings and hit Post Message now.

Welcome to MMORPG.com. Post like this more often, it's entertaining. I'll come back and read this in entirety and post a wall of text in response, tommorow maybe.
*Edit* /applaud, read it all. Very nice, keep it up! I'll just leave the rest of this post here for the next person to read if they want.
Yeah what the hell, I learned that money and power doesn't amount to as much as living free and wild.
I went a little wild yesterday, got a girls phone #, went and talked to some guy sitting at a bench while I waited for my bus. It's biker's reunion here where I live, meaning there's a lot of bikers driving around. We talked, and this guy works at the grocery store. Well anyways, we comment on the bikes, the hot chicks walking by and then he asks me if I work (yes) and if I had the choice (yes/no)
Looking back, I can already see where he was thinking with that, like he doesn't have a choice but to work, and since I am young I may still live with parents. Well he didn't understand what I meant by yes/no in regards to my choice for working. I explained to him that I worked and banked and banked and banked in Alberta, and then saved up enough money to buy a car/computer and drive to ontario. Here I spent a year not working, but slowly consumed almost every drop of my hard-earned savings and recently decided I better get a job before my account goes empty.
What he said in response: "That's the way I should have done it" and it got me thinking. Well he explained how he used to make good money but he spent it all, and now he's in this situation, working at a grocery store.
Tonight I watched a PBS special on the biggest surfing waves recorded in history, and really got into the passion the surfers had on camera. It made me realize that the money, the job you have or your possessions means nothing, when compared to going in history for riding one of the biggest waves ever. Or for living the wild life of a biker, going from place to place, meeting new hotties, and living freestyle.
I began imagining what I could do, to cultivate such a free-spirited lifestyle. And the gears began to mesh together. I can save up to buy a motorcycle, learn how to service it and then sell my stereo, my computer, buy a laptop and then just go. Meet people online and say "hey I'm gonna drive over there for the summer, can you show me around?"
Live the life of the free rover, going from place to place, seeing the sites, meeting new people at every corner and generally having another adventure during the course of a lifetime. Ahh...it was a fun little daydream, but for now I must stick to my wilderness survival education and then maybe next summer I'll have what it takes to hit the road.

I’m pissed off with being a target for everything just because I’m young (27) white and have the right postcode (zip code) and have disposable income everyone wants to sell me something I get no less than 40-50 junk mail letters each week offering me one of two things more credit or help with my debts (I have neither BTW) when will people realise that you should try not to buy a new car every year make things last longer and demand better service
Last week I had to go into the office I spend 50% of the week working from home and something happened that demanded me to rush into work id just put some lunch in the oven and had to turn it off and get in the car to drive to work still hungry (note I did not say starving I hate when people use that word) so I called into a drive-thru only to be forced to waiting 25 mins to wait for “fast” food when I told the guy I need my food now his idea of customer service was well, you wanted it “fresh” right, now go away and leave me alone I’m busy being a arsehole and earning minimum wage needless to say where ever I go I find the same lacklustre customer service of morons taking no pride in what they are doing
OP I agree reality TV will be the death anything educational being show on TV at all
Celebrity: I’m amazed on how it’s everywhere infesting society with the truly crazy notion that you need to be seen in nothing other than designer clothing or you’ve had it, your heading for the scrapheap of life know as “normality” PLEASE PEOPLE I EMPLORE YOU STOP BUYING THESE MAGS PLAIN CLOTHING ARE OK YOU DON’T NEED TO DRINK A £5 BOTTLE OF WATER WHAT YOU GET FROM THE TAP IS OK
Tabloid news papers its never “we have 1600 places left in our jails” its “9 weeks left until our prisons are full” implying the murderers, rapist and paedophiles will then be free to campout in your garden waiting to mug you, rob your house and kill your kids. It’s just not like that, when are we going to grow up and stop buying this crap it should be illegal it really should.
And last but not least, the human race, the whole fucking lot of it we live in a world where we can send man to the moon, we can harness the power of the atom we can travel faster than sound yet millions dye every year because they can’t wet a glass of fucking water causing famine and starvation even more countless millions dye because they cant afford the most basic medicine we can drop a 500LB bomb down a fucking chimney in Bagdad but we are unable to get even clean needles into the local children’s hospital 2 mile down the road,
Sometimes, just sometimes, I’m ashamed to call myself a human being

Most sex scenes in most films.
If I want porn I will get some porn. All directors have to do is show the couple going into the room and then close the door then change sceen. The acting in most sex scenes is so sh*te it makes me laugh, which really kills the mood of the rest of the film.
I was watching a film and there was this sex scene, and the woman was groaning like she was .. well .. she hadn't even got her undies off yet
. She did have a nice ass when she finally got naked but really it didn't do much for plot.
What normally happens is I am watching a good film and then... the mandatory sex scene to show off some celebs ass, and it is really fake, as if watching celebs rubbing the wrong parts of their bodies together actually turns me on
If a sex scene is necessary for the film then fine, but most really are not, in my opinion. If a director want to put a bit of ass in his film why not do a "walking from the shower" shot or something? A quick flash is more fun than 3 mins of fake grunting and groaning, in my opinion anyway
edit: wow i just noticed i put ass in that post 3 times hahaha, that must be freudian or something
I hate rap music, expecially that lil jon crap.
His music videos make me feel like i'm going to go into a seizure.
There was this one preppy chick in my school, when I lived in Missouri. Well, she always thought she was better than me because I wasn't rich or whatever. Always hated everybody but her preppy friends and the preppy kids who made fun of the less fortunate.
I just got home a few days ago from there.
She lives in a trailor home, has two kids, is currently pregnant, and her husband is in jail.
My brother has two kids, one little girl and boy.
They are spoiled beyond all control, they hit their mom when they don't get what they want in Wal-mart.
If I would even think about hitting my mother or father about not getting what I wanted. My father would have seen it coming and I'd be bouncing off the walls from the punch in the face.
I hate people who to go to church, walk outside, not even obey what they just learned, and think they're better than others.
Oh, and I hate people who smell really, really, bad.
There's something called deodorant, it's not really that expensive.

People who have a holier then thou attitude who advocate war, death, intolerance, and claim to be Christian. I must have a different version of the Bible than them.
Preachy anti-smoking campaigns. Here the city made it so you can't smoke inside public buildings (ok), then not by the entrance, and now they want to make it so you can't under awnings or any other cover. I LIVE IN A METH HAVEN! Downtown is littered with addicts and junkies doing their tweeking dances. Get some priorities people.

The title is grammatically incorrect. You mix past and present tenses while describing a single time period.
"If you only learned one thing yesterday..."
or
"If you only learn one thing today..."
It is one or the other, not both.
