Typo

1. The one instance of a particular word in what you've written that will bring out stampeding herds of duh-weebs to point out to you the correct spelling of the word - and a few more incorrect ways to spell it - even though every other instance of the word is spelled correctly.

2. A correctly spelled word that illiterate duh-weebs are unfamiliar with, and will mistake for misspellings of other words.

3. The reason why spell-checkers were invented.
1. "The correct spelling of yelow is yellow."

"Maybe that's why I spelled it that way the other 36 times I used that word."

2. "You left the P out of homepage."

"If I had wanted to call my homage a homepage, I would have."

3. "I spell everything correctly! I use a spell-checker!"

"Spell-checkers don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, and neither do you."

Perrier

Mineral water that's drank by people who don't know about Calistoga.
Topo Chico and Calistoga are much better than Perrier.

browser snob

A web site that turns its nose up at legitimate, fully-functional browsers, such as IE 7 or Firefox simply because the webmaster won't tolerate his site being viewed using off-brand browsers and can't be bothered to update the site's script to recognize legitimate browsers.
Some monopolistic corporations, such as MyCrudSoft, are browser snobs. You have to do business with them on their terms because they don't even need to care whether you like doing business with them. It's their way making sure you know that they don't have to give a crap about you.

monopoly

Monopoly: A bored, (pardon the Freudian slip), game.

monopoly: A legal concept that has been legislated out of existence by attorneys, judges, and legislators. Now that all legal definitions of monopoly are unlawful, simply understand this: When a corporation is so big that it doesn't need to worry about whether consumers like doing business with it, because they have no choice, it's a monopoly.
No please, let's not play Monopoly.

skunk word

Any slang term used by bigoted or self-righteous people to negatively stereotype others. Even though the word may have its proper place in our language and a correct definition, its meaning in common usage is so subjective that it defies accurate definition.
An abortion is the medical and legal term for miscarriage. The introduction of intentional miscarriage brought about slang usage in which it means feticide, which is the medical and legal term for causing a fetus to abort, whether intentional or not.

A cult is the religious aspect of one's culture, thus the similarity between the words cult and culture. Bigoted name-calling insists that only "other people" join cults.

Democracy means rulership by the people, for the people, and all that that implies, such as free elections. The one nation that is most critical of what other nations try to pass off as Democracy can't even hold debates between its own presidential candidates without two of the four candidates trying to attend being arrested and charged with trespassing just for being there.

One person's truth is his opponent's propaganda, and vice versa.

Phobias are psychologically induced, irrational fears. In common usage, they are nothing more than something to accuse others of having when one wants to discount their opinions and be excused to behave in a way that they find repugnant.

If bigots only realized how bigoted they sound when they call other people bigots, probably no one would ever use the word.
