People who pronounce Niall as Nile. It should be pronounced the same as Neill. There's someone on this forum who pronouces his name Hamish as Ham-ish as in West Ham when he should pronounce Hame-ish as in "a Sheamuis". Hamish is derived from the Gaelic form of Seamuis.
People who pronounce Niall as Neill.

It bugs me when my boss arrives back after a week on holidays and realises the place didn't fall down while he was away, then spends the morning picking holes in non exsistent issues.:mad:
I can't agree with you. Everyone who pronounces Niall as Neill as right and the ones who pronounce it as Nile are wrong. I'm not a fluent Irish speaker but I'm sure that pronouciation is wrong because the motto of my mother's clan the O'Connells is "Ciall agus Neart" meaning "sense and strength" and Ciall is pronouced as Keel.Quote:

Something else that bugs me:
People who "Reply all" when you send a forward mail even though they don't know half the people on the list.
People who send me e-mails saying that unless I forward this to seventeen people in the next 41 minutes, a little child is going to die somewhere. If I do forward them, Bill Gates will see that I've forwarded it and save the child.
Do people have no cop on at all?!?!?!
Send it back to them 5 times. They'll stop, I guarantee. Worked for me anyway.
Thank you for bringing this up. The only thing that makes it more annoying is that somebody somewhere has tacked on an extra bit saying "it REALLY does work."Quote:

I dont have a problem with that since Christmas is stolen from the Pagans anyways but like using the term God instead of any other variations on the being of light, Christmas is just as handy a name as any other for the festive season. But its not just Christmas day that whole week or 2 period would be more appropriately called the Festive Season.
Ring out solstice bell I say. Thieving xtians!
Stolen from the pagans indeed, does the name not give you a clue, CHRIST mas.Quote:

Christmas was indeed originally a pagan festival. However, when the Church was looking to get Christianity installed as the major religion in pagan places, they basically turned the existing pagan festivals into Christian ones. The pagan festival around 21st/25th December is an important one as it marks the winter solstice, the end of the worst of winter and the start of spring and new life. Nobody knows for sure when exactly Jesus was born - we can't even agree on what year it was, let alone an exact date - so the Church photoshopped Jesus and the concept of Christmas onto the existing pagan festival rather than try and work out when He was born and have the festival then. That way, pagans kept their traditional festival but now honoured Jesus rather than the earth.
Touché - and people who say pacifically (as in the Ocean?!?!? WTF!) instead of specifically - sorry if it has been mentioned before, just off the phone with one such culprit!Quote:
