Wait, I'm confused, is this for general pet peeves or just language pet peeves?

Well, I don't have any language pet peeves... yet.

But regular ones: people coughing, screaming children/babies, close-minded people, being ignored, lying, people talking behind my back, people replying with nothing but "XD" or a smiley in MSN.

I don't like languages with too many cognates to English. I never can tell if I'm saying an actual word or if I'm just saying an English word word with an accent.

Languages that don't use the Arabic script because I've become too lazy to write vowels.

Not having Byki deuluxe anymore because my laptop crashed (grrr I spend 40 bucks too, and I think I'm more mad about losing my language software than my laptop) And because of that I can't edit the diacritic marks out and I have to type them, and I'm too lazy to want to do that.

I can't think of any others that aren't specific languages. XD

Lol, every time I've talked to you you've done that only sparingly. xD I mean people who do it EVERY REPLY. Like:

"What do you think of this?" "xD" "i think it's pretty cool" "xD" or whatever. @@;

Or when you write these giant messages to them, and all you get back is "lol XD."
