1 "They should just". *no* real issue is so simple that it can be addressed in a sentence, few in a dense page.
2 "Social justice" referring to equalization of results regardless of the efforts/activities of the participants.
3 XXXist/XXXphobic. When referring to things that are *not* XXXist/XXXphobic.
4 Whatever.
5 "Human right" to things like cell-phones.
6 "Someone should do something". The root of all evil.
Honestly, abuses of the actual language don't annoy me the way they used to, and most of the items on the other list, I accept as attempts to say difficult things without getting punched (with all due respect) many times, such moderations of perfect honesty are needed (in my opinion). What annoys me is corruption of the *consepts*, the creation of "newspeak", in truly orwellian fashion. Who can possibly argue against "social justice", but what's the definition?
But, in the general run of life, most of the time, I find people fairly tolerable. Or at least, fairly uniformly irritating. It's when they start reparcelling my life that they get annoying.
