i've gone crazy


I think I've gone completely crazy...

Can you even spot the difference between the 2 photos? I initially uploaded the original photo (the one on the left) in my post here. But after I published it, the incorrect grammar - "Welcome in my room" - just kept nagging at me. I couldn't stand it. So an hour later, I found myself editing the photo with the most crude photo-editing tool, Paint (since it's the only one I know how to use). I couldn't even find the right font but it was the lesser of two pet peeves (as you might recall from here).

Sigh. I really think I've gone completely crazy.

And yes, I know this sounds suspiciously like an oops, my neurosis is showing... post. But as you know from here, they have to be 7 posts apart.

Aaaggghhhh! Should I have myself committed?!

a pet peeve of mine...


Based on this photo, can you figure out the pet peeve I'm talking about?

I really wish it didn't bother me. But it does. In some Japanese stationery. In work emails from some peers from non-English-speaking countries. In a Pasig road sign I pass on my way home that reads "RIGHT LANE MUST STRAIGHT AHEAD".

Even something as minor as incorrectly cutting words that go beyond a line (supposedly with a hyphen) bothers me. 


I don't feel anger or hatred for the people that commit them. Nothing like that. But I just can't help notice the mistakes committed. They just seem to jump out and scream at me with blinking lights. :(
