    A propos to yesterday’s comments on “pet peeves,” my pet peeve is when people say “dirt” when they really mean “earth.”

    The name of the 3rd planet from Sol is spelled with an uppercase “E,” while lowercase “e” refers to what some people call “dirt.”

    ‘military’ or 2400 hour time, is not at all confusing. AM and PM is confusing.
