I must admit, my current 'project' has built my patience, my component knowledge, my frustration, my negative paypal balance, my inventory of mis-ordered parts and my tolerance for other's point of view, even if I don't agree......................

I'm annoyed by the word extreme and especially by Xtreme. and stuffed (or stuft) crust pizza - that's just trying too hard.

I assembled my 2 road bicycles from parts, including wheels. But the shifters, brakes, derailleurs and hubs came already assembled.

Perhaps this could explain why some call it a "build"
LEGO play for all
LEGO products are developed in such a way that there is something for all ages and stages of development. From kindergarten toddlers, schoolchildren and teenagers to young-at-heart adults. There’s something for everyone - whether you prefer making things up as you go or building predesigned models. You can read about the options under the various product categories.

I find it fascinating that "whom" is now a ghost word, the walking undead.

Here's another: ironically
Are misuses of a word annoying? Why yes they are.
The UT ticket office is running this dopey radio ad, the first word of which is ironically, which the ad uses to describe the orange color of flowers that grew "voluntarily" on the Hill.
No, that's not irony. Duh.

That's called a gerund. It's not becoming more common these days ( think: sailing, cycling, kayaking ), and it has nothing to do with the internet or text messages. It's a feature of the English language.
