I thought I'd enlighten all of you by sharing this from my facebook profile:
Dislikes: FEET, cheesecake, 89% of all the people I've ever met, the smell of the dishwasher if you open it up mid-cycle, runny yolks, faux-gangsters over the age of 12, "The Passion", when people try to sound smart by using big words, but end up using them wrong 40% of the time, commons' soup, most dogs, infants (they look like balls of raw hamburger), middle-schoolers, flash tattoos, false romance, those gross, fluffy scarf things, when I can't tell that someone is trying to be funny, long fingernails on boys, asshats who don't use their turn signals, slow drivers, "Ring 2", "The Goonies", that woman with the horrible voice on "Will and Grace", Journey, studded belts, any temperature over 78 degrees fahrenheit, Axe deodorant, the word "orientate" (it's not actually a word, but I hear people use it several times in an average day), when people misuse the word "literal", or "literally", happytreefriends.com, homestarrunner (although I DO like strongbad...sometimes), pants, war movies, obstinate people on both ends of the political spectrum, fruitcake, wienerschnitzel, bologna, lighting matches, parking, drinking water, PBR, Rock Star energy drinks, folding clothes, losing bobbypins (I can easily lose an entire pack in a couple of weeks), my alarm clock (it is shaped like a penguin and sings in Japanese...KILL KILL KILL), sweatpants as part of a daytime outfit, bicyclists in Portland, sweat, Burger King, PT Cruisers, the fact that my Hum. conference leader comes to class every day in more clothing than is necessary and he exclaims "whew, it's stuffy in here" and opens the windows, leaving me shivering (I've tried jamming them shut, or just hoping, but it happens EVERY day), oysters, Roger Dalton, monkey puzzle trees, pee splatters on toilet seats, shirts that say stupid things on them (show me a shirt and I'll tell you if it says something "stupid" on it, but really...chances are that if it says something at all, it most likely says something STUPID), those weird dangley sleeves that were popular a couple of years ago, many, many more things...To Be Continued.

The 1% I'll never be blamed for is speaking French.

I agree and/or disagree with everything you said. But you should know that WH Auden and the Oxford English Dictionary think orientate is a word. I don't like it either, but there we have it.
