List of things that irked me today:

1. People who say “early adapters” instead of “early adopters.”

2. People who spell “congratulations” as “congradulations.” It’s appropriate in one circumstance: graduation. Elsewhere it’s just a misspelling.

3. People who blame poor weather for their sickness, not the fact that they just spent a week at Disney World with 50,000 other humans, each of which may potentially carry the virus or bacteria that actually got them sick.

4. Weathermen who state “there is a 50% chance of rain today” when in reality they mean “there is a 100% chance that it will rain 50% of the day today.” I understand weather is all about probability and so the “chance” is accurate terminology for the field, however their usage usually isn’t.

5. For a school supposedly “Powering Silicon Valley,” SJSU’s wireless internet is horribly slow and inconsistent sometimes. Couple that with the draconian authentication policies and the preference for Internet Explorer and Windows, and you’ve got a recipe for crappy performance.

For having so many complaints, overall my day has been fairly pleasant.
