I'm no capital punishment guy, but we really should kill everyone who use "pre-" erroneously.
I'm goddamned sick of it.

"pre-cut", "pre-approved", "pre-written", "pre-licked". I've even heard "pre-mailed", "pre-finished" and "pre-assembled".

It seems to be the new buzzword bullshit, like putting "e-" in front of everything in the dotcom boom.

What the fucking fuck? It's so fucking annoying, I'm ready to start executing people.

:grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke:

By the way, this thread was pre-written and pre-posted and then pre-read for your pre-enjoyment.

FUCKERS!



STOP IT!!!!!!!!

15. Was your bed pre-made and your pillow pre-fluffed and your sheets pre-turned?
Goddammit, this pisses me off.

16. Yes. Now that all the pre-preparation is done, I can get on with the simple preparation.
Then I'll pre-make a pot of coffee for the morning.
