This guy is vegan and has been since he was about 18:

The ones who are skin and bone are likely not properly following a vegan diet and not getting anywhere near the nutrients they need.

Folk who use a full stop instead of a comma when writing numbers.

For example, 500.000 is five hundred, not five hundred thousand. Five hundred thousand is 500,000.

This is primary school level stuff.

Europeans are bad for this I've noticed, the Dutch especially.

I'm not sure what your argument is.

I have no issue with the concept, but names like "Veganuary" and "Movember" can f**k right off tbqhwy.

Very European thing and I’ve noticed it slipping in to my writing, hopefully my new colleagues don’t think I’m a moron.

These names and branding of everything is absolutely infuriating and a massive pet hate of mine. I spent a stupid amount of time refusing to say Brexit.

The portmanteauing of things has been increasing in popularity sadly. Its a daft, tabloid driven load of old shite. As most tabloid 'readers' tend to be a bit of a dunce, the mashed together terms appeal to their smooth brains and nano second attention spans. I can recall such pish as 'Brangelina' and the like. Horrendous.
