You know what really grinds MY gears: people who post "here" as if every other forum member knows where "here" is.
Sure there are forum members whose whereabouts I remember, and some people have their locations in their sigs, but "here" and "there" are relative terms, and I would appreciate it if people took the time to say what city they are in when making posts about some geographical location.
Examples:
Bad:
The weather is really lousy here today. I thought winter was over.
Better:
The weather is really great in Pawtucket today. Finally some sunshine.
Great:
The weather is really great here today. Finally some sunshine.
BTW, I'm in Springfield (New Jersey).
