Irritated

Today I have been getting really irritated by the adverts polluting my television time. Polo and golf cars are at the top of my list.

What sane person, just buys a car in the same way they buy groceries?! I realise that if you were rich arbitrarily buying a car would not seem insane, but I assume rich people do not buy polos or golfs. To a normal individual like me, these adverts promote reckless spending, and whilst they make me feel less guilty for squandering eighty quid on a pair of Wellington boots, they still make me feel irritated.

I am also irritated by my iPad automatically 'correcting' my spelling. I meant to write 'polos', iPad. If I meant 'pools', my comment would not make sense, as of course rich people buy pools. Furthermore, when I am writing specifically about maids, I do not appreciate my apparently politically correct iPad to 'correct' this to 'house cleaners'. If the book I am writing about says maid, that's what I gotta say too. If my iPad had a degree in English it would realise this, and stop irritating me.

Which brings me to the final source of my irritation: Internet arguments. Correcting another person's spelling does not mean you have automatically won the argument. It means you are an asshole.
