    When Finns say "Dameissa" instead of "Damissa" and "Dameihin" instead of "Damiin" when meaning "In/To Amsterdam"! WHY THE REDUNDANT PLURAL FORM!?

    Also, it annoys the hell out of me how some people here pronounce "Q" as a "goo". WHAT!?!?!

    Actually, most things people say are bound to annoy me one way or the other. I'm a very irritable person.

    "Racist" or "racism" considering nowadays someone can call you racist for even noticing that someone is a different race then you, as if it is possible NOT to notice..

    Words I hate;

    - literally, when it is used to mean something that is not literal, i.e. "smoke was literally coming out of his ears he was so angry"
    - "legit" when used for emphasis

    Phrases I hate;

    "That awkward moment when..." followed by something awkward. It's not a proper sentence and sounds cliche and stupid.

    Generally I don't like the foreign words Latvians are using in their normal, Latvian, speech.
    From English the most popular are: fuck and sorry.
    From Russian there are long lists of mostly curse words, because Latvian language isn't considered so "colourful".
    Most probably I would myself shout "bitch" in Russian if I accidentally injured myself or screwed up badly
