I'm not sure that it's a God-given right, I think the right might be given by the state or city. However, as I recall, the dead sea scrolls do make mention of the speed one should go in the left lane.

The grammar Nazi in me bristles at the misuse of few and less. No one knows anything about count and non-count nouns these days.

Good point, I agree we should have less of these. We still have farther to go when it comes to grammar usage.

I haven't had a "peeve" in years.
That must be because I'm retired -

Doc says I just need to send in this stool sample once a year.
I've had the prostate checked numerous times. That irritates you ?
I'm too busy having fun to get upset?
I dunno.

Unless you brakes are broken.

Some of these can be blamed on autocorrect. I sent a Halloween package to my neighbors little girl and autocorrect kept changing Charlotte to Charlotteville

You haven't had your prostrate checked properly by a urologist. When they lift you off the floor by yours it's not near as much fun as you might imagine.

Wegmans grocery store gets this correct. The express lines have signs that say "15 items or fewer"

If this country was smart enough to use many roundabouts vs. time & gas wasting ss's, this issue would be greatly reduced. While I agree the driver is wrong, if multiple cars went each time - as roundabouts effectively create - traffic would flow better.
