I don't think people are allowed to either agree or disagree as to whether they think you are right or wrong to get wound up by something. You disagreeing doesn't stop them getting wound up by it. In fact coming back with comments copied and pasted from a grammar section of the internet or trying to be clever with words to make yourself sound intelligent and then messing it up with basic grammatical errors just makes the situation worse. I refer everyone to my original innocent comment about what grinds my gears. Can we just accept that is does and leave me to get on with my gear grinded life.

Have you ever heard the sentence "putting lipstick on a pig". For the money you spent doing that, you could have bought a decent car with a decent stereo system.
