That purple is the wrong colour of purple to use with that particular font and your tables aren't aligned to fit the window, I mean, don't you know I'm a formataholic

format war

Refers to a repetitive series of hot-headed and destructive actions whereby two or more people seethingly format a computer-disk or other media-storage device over and over to erase the previous user's files because each person either dislikes/disapproves of the content that the other users are storing on it, or each person selfishly/arrogantly feels that his own files are more important/necessary/virtuous than those of any of the device's other users.

I always bring extra floppy disks and/or flash-drives with me --- and clearly label them with my name --- to store my own files when I use the office computer, to hopefully avoid any format wars.

Foraten

The feeling of dissatisfaction when a song can’t be played loud enough.

Example:
I was listening to "Wannabe" last night and feeling some serious foraten.

Phone speakers are the worst!

Formatist

A belief that format or form-factor is the primary determinant of performance, efficacy, and other traits and that format or form-factor differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular format or form-factor.

My formatist friends believe that HDDVD is superior to Blu-Ray.
