What do you hate that most people like? - Bilge

Ducks and cows belong outside, not in a bathroom, bedroom, kitchen or anywhere else. It's just creepy. Anne Geddes. Babies dressed as flowers or butterflies? Puh-lease. How about just photographing flowers or butterflies? I've always thought this was borderline child abuse. As a corollary, I also hate things with dogs wearing rain slickers, cowboy hats, or tuxedos. The weird way of spelling things because we're lazy. For example, do-nuts. They're doughnuts. My favorite thing to hate is plurals that end with a "z". Like donutz (one of the all-time worst), or hot dogz. My wife hates the -n- that serves as "and". Like in Linens-N-Things. There's going to be a whole generation of people that think every plural word in English will end with z and that -n- is some contraction of and.
