If you climbed a mountain, you reached the peak.

If you are interested in something, it piqued your interest.

Haha, that site is lol.

Although some academics are undoubtedly nuts, the usual English-language pronunciation of “academia” does not rhyme with “macadamia.”

hehe I thought the same thing when I saw Furgle's post

i was piquing just the other nite

"Your are"?
Get your own english right before correcting others!

an american lecturing on correct use of english? whatever.

English is a crap language.

Bring back latin!

Epic.

yo?

i just had a sneek pique at some of my presents

nF

Aren’t some of these points awfully picky?
This is a relative matter. One person’s gaffe is another’s peccadillo. Some common complaints about usage strike me as too persnickety, but I’m just discussing mistakes in English that happen to bother me.

american or not i'll listen to anyone who genuinely uses words like peccadillo and persnickety in a sentence

You can not deny that english is a screwed up language with every single rule being broken multiple times. I think Americans are on the right step, changing english for the better.

Also, it's dry retching, not reaching.

did you pique out while doing it?

An historic lecture was given at an history class the other day.

what really grinds my gears is when people say "like" (especially young girls in shopping malls) too much and "youse" instead of used..

ergh...

it's just a peccadillo you persnickety bastard
