If you edit out all the clips where these guys and girls utter the words &#8220;you know&#8230;&#8221;, the show would be probably truncated down to 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not talking about the&nbsp;<em>standard&nbsp;<\/em>&#8220;you know&#8221;, seeking agreement&nbsp;<em>after&nbsp;<\/em>making a statement. It is the &#8220;you know&#8221; that populates and&nbsp;<em>pollutes<\/em>&nbsp;an entire sentence over and over again, which usually renders the entire statement (as well as the intelligence of the speaker) down to an idiotic rant &#8211; these &#8220;you know&#8221;s annoy me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I am on the topic, I should start my brief list of my other pet peeves:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; people who can not write a complete sentence without having people think that they are complete morons.<br>&#8211; people who can not speak a complete thought without having people think that they are complete morons.<br>&#8211; people who can&#8217;t spell (I am not talking about those who type fast and don&#8217;t bother to spell check &#8211; I am talking about those who confuse THERE with THEIR, for example).<br>&#8211; people who don&#8217;t know how to use punctuation marks accordingly.<br>&#8211; rude people.<br>&#8211; people who drive slow.<br>&#8211; people who drive slow in the passing lane, then becomes rude when you politely flash them with your high beams from behind.<br>&#8211; stupid people who think they are smart.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list goes on and on, but I should stop here so I don&#8217;t get incomprehensible e-mail death threats. Furthermore, I promised my brain to go to bed before midnight to prevent overheating like the past few days, blogging and surfing until 4:00 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just watched an episode of The Real World on MTV, and I have to admit, it annoys the hell out of me.
