Originally posted by cyberwolf Speaking of "O" and "0", it's even MORE annoying when people VERBALLY don't distinguish between the two, as in phone numbers... "one zero six five two eight seven" which is uttered "one OH six ...." You get the point. Goes beyond mere semantics, though it's a minor one/1. :-) Yeah, I can't stand that, lol! I honestly only did it a few times myself, mainly because I was repeating a phone number that someone was reading or saying out to me. And while I don't "hate" it, the older people in my area still give out five-digit phone numbers. For years and years, every number was 87-xxxxx, so they'd either use the letter designation TR or just the five numbers when giving you a phone number, assumming you knew what they were talking about. Some old stores still have TR-xxxxx on their signs. Again, I don't hate it, but it bugs the hell out of me. Peace

No way could I ever get worked up over the grammatical errors people make when speaking, but I entirely dislike when people butcher typing posts for message boards and forums. They write and spell like they're instant messaging, but with environments like this the need for IM-style speed just isn't necessary (e.g. "u no eyneone dat nose were a studio iz"). It also drives me crazy when people KNOWINGLY mis-pronounce a word (see "skrimp"), or especially a name. My name is pretty damn easy, but people always get it wrong. A phrase that I'm just short of hating is "if you say so". To me, it's the sister of "yeah, whatever". I worked with a lady who always said that and didn't see anything wrong with when she said it. Her: Where's the closest WaWa? Me: Straight down 401, on your right. Her: If you say so. Pissed me off everytime. Peace

Originally posted by Flaat Don't know if I like the sound of the words "Behringer" and "Peavey". hmm.. That's funny, 'cause across the board people like the BCF. It's one of a handful of products they make that's actually worth a dime. I'm actually thinking of getting the BCR, but I'm not sure it'd work with PT, though if I could use it with Tracktion or Live, it'll be worth it (not sure I want to pay $900 for a Mackie C4 to go with my MCU, as I'd get an Extender instead). It's funny, 'cause it used to be that I thought I'd never own anything with moving faders unless I hit the jackpot. Now, you can get them in control surfaces for a couple hundred dollars. Peace
