No, but depending on the model some suffer from poor gas mileage, rust, and hard-to-find parts.

Off topic: I resisted opening this thread for several days because I thought somebody was going to say something about Fozzie Bear.

Everybody has their own pet peeves, of course, but this would barely even register on my personal peeve-o-meter.

Mixing up words like lose/loose, to/too, than/then, there/their bugs me much more, but even then I’ll give a pass if the writer’s thoughts are otherwise coherent; sometimes I type too fast for my own good and forget to proofread myself, and I’m willing to chalk these kinds of errors up to that.

But…

Using numbers 2 stand in 4 words tells me that you are illiterate _and_ lazy, and don’t care who knows it!

Their are words in you’re list that make me literally loose my mind to. Makes me madder then a wet hen 2 read posts with them, cuz I don’t have time 4 translating errors. Its enough to drive a rabid weasel out of it’s mind!

One of mine is Afghani versus Afghan. The afghani is the unit of currency in Afghanistan. Afghans are the people. Afghans have afghanis in their pockets.
