People pretending the english language isn't a horrible, confusing mishmash. See also bi-weekly. (I've somehow messed up the quote and I don't know how to fix it)

What? How?

How am I to know what someone means if they for example say "The meeting is to be held biweekly"?

I agree the game language should be Finnish. "Epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyyttäänkäänköhän?"

English is a language most tough, though through thorough deciphering it can be truly understood.

One of my biggest music pet peeves is that quarter note triplets work the same way. Instead of taking up three quarters, they are either compressed with the triplet bracket to take up the time of 2 quarters (three in the space of two), or stretched out to take up the time of four quarters (a whole 4/4 measure with three evenly spaced notes). Either is correct.

Wish I'd been in the room when that decision was made.

That moment when you finally get to level 17 for the ancient elemental summon and decides to try it out, only to have it dispelled by a simple greater dispel from the first encounter, leaving you clubbed to death by the angry horde of mobs.

FML, never had to elder elemental dispelled like that without banishment/WoF involved.
