+Doombot! Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 <rant> This might have been covered before, (if so, this post will surly sink off the screen like Leoardo DiCaprio at the end of Titanic) but nothing makes one of my eyes twitch uncontollably like hearing someone talking about geocatching. Dear God people....it cashing... CASHing! And these team names, "Cache you later", "Cache me if you can", "Caching air" etc, they make no sense. Ok, deep, calming breath..... </rant> So what are your pet peeves? Quote Link to comment

+Runaround Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 My pet peeve is about people who go on rants about their own pet peeves. Now where did I park my car??????? Quote Link to comment
bodolad Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 My pet peeve is that girls didn't wear bellybutton rings when I was in the dating world....ooops...sorry ....wrong forum..... ~Bob Quote Link to comment

+RJFerret Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I've actually got one... When the Iraq conflict was on all the news stations, every military person kept saying "cachet" instead of "cache" (kash'A instead of kash). Cachet means prestige. "A hidden cachet of weapons" is an unintelligible comment (a hidden prestige of weapons?!??). It made our military, and those of us they represent, appear so ignorant. Ah well, Randy C'est la vie (or "Kest la vy" as they might say...) Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I, too, found it annoying that the military kept finding "cachets." Haven't heard too many people mispronouncing cache, or geocache since the war, though. Actually, one of my pet peeves is the mispronounciation of words any time. Quote Link to comment
+Bloencustoms Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 As to our military, I belive actions speak louder... Anyone willing to defend our way of life can talk however they want to. The geocatching is pretty irritating. I think it is due to people assuming that you are mispronouncing "catch" rather than accept the possibility that there is a word they have never heard.

+Team Shibby Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Its funny, with close to 800 caches in my state alone (1800 within 100 miles) I have never met another person who knew what geocaching was. There is another geocacher at my place of employment, but never had the chance to discuss it with them. My point you may ask? I never hear anyone else pronounce it Kar Quote Link to comment
Cholo Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 quote:Originally posted by RJFerret:"A hidden cachet of weapons" Good Lord, man, I think you've found it! This is why they can't find the "womd", they're looking into cachets. It now seems obvious that the "womd" are in caches. The president should be notified immediately! He will certainly select a group from here who have the highest 'found counts' to go to Iraq and find these. Congratulations, good old American ingenuity will finally win the day.

+MissJenn Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 My pet peeve is when people date their caTche logs improperly. Ask anyone who's been to an event cache with me: I'll ask them to EDIT their post! Thankfully, most of them have indulged me. -- I recognize fun when I see it. Quote Link to comment

Oh, this is too good; I can't resist! "mispronounciation???" What is this . . . using the wrong pronoun? How about mispronunciation? (Merriam-Webster: the act or an instance of mispronouncing) I know, you were just testing us, right? Actually, mispronunciation of words is one of my big pet peeves, too--right up there with the use of non-words like mispronounciation.

+The Leprechauns Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 In ClayJar's geocaching chat channel, I use the mIRC client, which gives me the option of a text-to-speech converter. It is so much easier to follow the chat by having the sound agent speak the words that people type. The agent is pretty good at pronouncing most common words, but it says "geokacking", "kacking" and "kacker". It does know how to say "cache", IIRC. Fortunately, there is a way to "force" the agent to use the correct pronunciation, by simply adding the phoenetic spelling into a dictionary.

+Woodbutcher68 Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Looked it up in my Funk & Wagnalls! Cachet 1. A seal, as for a letter. 2. A sign of distinction, conferring prestige. 3. A mark, slogan, etc., printed on mail. If you put cash in your cache then you have cachet! Maps?!? We don't need no stinking maps! We got coordinates! Quote Link to comment

+pnew Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I think its funny that the thread author assumed that people who use the word cache sounding like catch meant it to be said out loud. As an experienced message board user most play on words are just meant to be kept exactly where they are. In print. when you say "cache you later" I automatically think "catch you later". When these people typed it they weren't meaning it to be said outloud but rather to be read to yourself. As for pet peeves I guess it would be people who assume the wrong thing.

+fly46 Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Actually, It annoys me to SAY "cash" because the word looks french which would make it a "Cashay"... So I say "Cashay" all the time. (and no I don't spell it like that.. I'm trying to be phonetical)... People with obvious spelling errors bother me online.. That's my peeve.. Like the people that do a subject line to a post and type something so fast that the letters are in the wrong "oredr" and then don't bother to fix it at all.... It's a post title, take four seconds to make sure you didn't mess something up!!!!! Quote Link to comment
