I *have* to sit near the front of the plane. I will even take the middle seat, it's that important. </p> <p>If I had to choose, I guess I'm a snob about easy spelling mistakes. People, learn the difference between "loose" and "lose". Drives me half wild. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-a-snob-about/page/3#post-1699902 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 18:41:42 +0000 Ginabean3 1699902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a snob about anything leather, especially shoes and handbags.

I also learned that the comma was unnecessary in those scenarios! I learned it was only to be used if the items were likely to get confused. I guess there's always someone who will make those assumptions though! I always have an inner debate with myself whether to use it. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-a-snob-about/page/3#post-1699887 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 18:31:28 +0000 tinyperson 1699887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-a-snob-about/page/3#post-1699885 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 18:30:14 +0000 tinyperson 1699885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: love it!

And I TOTALLY agree about the comma. I was taught to use it in high school, and then told not to in college. I asked my mom and she said that someone who teaches you to use it, you can basically tell their age :-P I guess teaching kids NOT to use it is the new normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-a-snob-about/page/3#post-1699708 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:07:44 +0000 Trailmix 1699708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a total snob about LO's clothes!

I changed! Ha. I majored in journalism in college and 2 spaces after the period was unacceptable.</p> <p>@Freckles: I don't mind sounding like an ass. I sent everyone in the office an article about the double space after a period and a meme about the serial comma with an FYI. I wear my asshole badge proudly. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-a-snob-about/page/3#post-1699562 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 16:02:20 +0000 LovelyPlum 1699562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ketchup, pierogies, kielbasa, and fireworks displays! </p>
