I don't know why it bothers me so much. I can't stand seeing VTEC spelled so many funky ways. I see V-tech so often that most people think that's how it's spelled. But what really gets me going is to see our local Autotrader magazines. Whoever prints the ads up over there always takes the liberty to change VTEC into Vortech. Local dealerships love to do that. Am I crazy?
Does this bug you too?

I am sorry, but I have to agree with Joe. It nearly gives me a headache everytime I see it. How about a new one?
Lol!
much better avatar now. 
The shades are a little better I suppose.
Beat me to it, damn it!
I feel a siezure coming on everytime i look at it 
LOL, that's a great bit of creativity <B>White94</B>!!! LOL
Maybe Lud will remove his avatar on the grounds that it's "animated" ... whenever i look at it, it moves.

My wife saw my avatar last night.... now I have to change mine too
HAHA! I never would have guessed that my avatar would bother so many people. I had it emailed to me along time ago and kept it because I thought it was a pretty cool picture. When it was emailed to me, it was actually titled, "Feel Drunk Instantly." So some of you are correct. I have another one that I would love to use, but it actually is animated. Do that many people want me to change it? Maybe we should start a poll thread? 
Mine is done.....
And yes, I think that many people want to change it

That is why I keep my generic.
No, I could care less about how the rice boys spell their fake accessories.
The only thing that bugs ME is a thread topic that does not spell out what it holds. You know, something like
DOES THIS BUG YOU?
instead of the more informative:
DOES MISPELLING VTEC BUG YOU?

Since we are on the subject of annoyances...
Both are used to convey "I don't care." While it is clear that "I could not care less" means this ("I care so little it would be impossible for me to care less"), I'm not sure how "I could care less" does.
Is saying "I could care less" careless? Does anyone care?
I hope I'm not opening up a can of worms, but this expression bugs me. I was always taught the expression is "I could not care less" not "I could care less."Soichiro said:

I could care less: less caring, It could be a thought.
I could not care less: I truly do not give a sh#t. The bottom, No question.

That has always been one of my pet peeves. Most people mistakenly say "I could care less" instead of the correct "I couldn't care less".
"I could care less" - i.e. It's possible that I could care less than I do, so by simple logic it follows that I care to some non-zero degree.
"I couldn't care less" - i.e. I care so little that it's not possible for me to care any less, so by simple logic it follows that I do not care at all (degree of caring is zero).
Just another example of people saying things that they have not thought through.
Let me resolve this. I could care less about saying if I couldn't care less.
Oh man, I get so annoyed by the "I could care less" comment too! Another thing I've noticed so much lately on some other boards that bugs me is when people spell ridiculous incorrectly as REDiculous.nsxr1 said:
"Where I am at, we....." is one of my biggest peeves. Why do people insist on using the word 'at' in this manner?
My list:
definately (definitely)
then vs. than
your vs.you're
there vs. their vs. they're
There are more, but it's too early in the morning.

It may be a "southern thing" but, I seem to hear it in most parts of the country.NetViper said:
