How adding up 33 to 77 equal isnt 100? Are you fucking kidding me? My first rule will be about this just after I become a dictator.

Lets hear the facts that annoy you!

How is ecstasy not spelled extasy? It does not make much sense. Although maybe no need to get me started on the nonsensical idionsyncracies of the English language...

Fermat (he of the Last Theorem) is now pronounced "Fur Mar" not "Fur Mat". Absolutely furious. Anyone else?

Abbreviation so long?

Palindrome isn't the same in reverse?

Wrong is alway pronounced wrong?

Phonetic is a hypocrite?

Aitch is always pronounce Haitch?

But that's what I admire about the nuances of the English language. I love the word "hyperbole" because it's pronounced so differently!
