Anything where a character becomes a martial arts master via training montage and effortlessly defeats multiple opponents. It takes years to master skills like that, and most martial artists are smart enough to know that regulated sparring/drills do NOT translate to a fight. We're trained to block, disarm/disable, and call for help. Not to fight them. (at least in my experience)

Well-meaning people often tell folks who are going through difficult times, “The Bible says that God won’t put on you more than you can bear.” The Bible DOES NOT say that, and does not promote that concept. The scripture that people use to say that is 1st Corinthians 10:13, which says:

“ 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”

That scripture is specifically about temptation, but folks have misinterpreted it to apply to incredibly tragic and devastating situations in life. People go through things that are more than they can bear every day: the death of a child, the loss of a job, the end of a marriage; all of these things are “more than they can bear”. When people misquote this scripture to suffering people it implies that they are weak and inadequate. It has been used to discourage people from seeking outside help for emotional disorders and other problems. I’m a former pastor and I spent a great deal of my time trying to help suffering people deal with things that were more than they could bear, and not feel guilty about breaking under the pressure.

I agree in part and disagree in part. I agree that we introverts are not all the same and that being an introvert doesn’t mean that we hate people. Where I disagree is the statement that “you just have to get us to open up to you”; I don’t want anyone to try to “get me to open up to them”, that’s not anyone’s job, and it’s annoying when people try to force me to be social. The better course of action is to respect my comfort zone and understand that social interaction is energy-draining and can be uncomfortable. We introverts are often told that we need to break out of our shell; but who’s telling the extroverts that we’re not broken, we don’t need to be fixed, so they should just leave us alone.

Just because I am a male doesn't mean that I want to avoid child care duties. I have no problem changing my child, however, I've noticed many establishments do not have changing stations in the men's room. They will often not have a family room either but will have the changing stations in the womens. It's very frustrating, we are partners and therefore should be sharing the responsibilities.

Venom vs Poison. Yes they are both toxins, no they aren't the same thing. Venom has to be injected via fangs or a stinger. Jellyfish, Man o' wars, bees, ants, wasps, spiders, scorpions, turantulas, some plants, lionfish, stonefish, cone snails, octopus, squid, beaded lizards, gila monsters, komodo dragons, and roughly about 600 out of the roughly 3,600 species of snakes are venomous. Poison has to be absorbed either through contact with the skin or ingestion. Toads, newts, and some frogs are poisonous. Garter snakes, tiger keeldback snakes, and hognose snakes are both venomous and poisonous. (Garter snakes and hognoses are harmless, please love them.) The most important thing to remember though is that if you see an animal and you aren't sure if it is poisonous and/or venomous just leave them alone and they will leave you alone. Animals are afraid of us and it is important to respect them and admire them from a safe distance. :) Love all animals you see. They are adorable :)

I see it more in online dialogue than anywhere else, but when people say they "c/w/should of" done such-and-such, it drives me crazy. Properly, and sensibly, it is "c/w/should HAVE" or "c/w/should'VE" as the contraction.

"Of" is a preposition, not a verb; you are describing a past action by using the phrase "could have"___.

People who think that breast cancer is always curable and that all it takes is a fight. If breast cancer only stayed in the breast, it could be curable. The problem is that it spreads to important parts like the brain, lungs, liver and bones. Once it spreads it is classified as metastatic breast cancer or stage 4. So far, it cannot be cured at this stage and no amount of fighting will change that. You hope your doctor can find a treatment that works for you and doesn't have too many side effects. And you hope it works as long as possible.

This appears to be wrong. From the wikipedia article discussing the saying: "Two modern commentators, author Albert Jack[17] and Messianic Rabbi Richard Pustelniak,[18] claim that the original meaning of the expression was that the ties between people who have made a blood covenant (or have shed blood together in battle) were stronger than ties formed by "the water of the womb", thus "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb". Neither of the authors cite any sources to support their claim.[17][18]"

The constant misuse of "women" vs "woman" in sentences. Women is the plural, it's not interchangeable except under special circumstances.

For example: - The woman says hello, and the women went for a drink. (The first one is singular and the second refers to a group of 2 or more)
- Fighting for women's rights and a woman's purse was left behind. (The first one infers all women as a group in the possessive, while the second only refers to one). You CAN fight for a woman's right to a fair trial, for example, but you wouldn't say "the women was brought up on charges" referring to the same person.

Drives me crazy in news articles and poorly written e-books. Please don't get me started on social media.

Some speech no-nos just seem to become common usage like ending a sentence with a preposition, but others we hear from people who should know better like politicians, newscasters, celebrities who influence the young, and, yes, even teachers, are so unnecessary.

"Him and me are going to the movies". Anyone, regardless of failing education, should acknowledge that they probably wouldn't say "him is going" or "me is going" so if there's any light in that head, they should be able to figure out that it should be "he and I are..."

Also applies to objects of prepositions such as "with she and I" (with is a preposition for anyone who didn't know that) - if you wouldn't normally say "with she" or "with I", then again, that light, dim as it might be, should tell you something doesn't sound right.

Antisocial does not mean you don’t like talking to people. That’s asocial. Antisocial means that it is counteractive to society and laws of society, such as antisocial personality disorder/commonly known as psychopathy.

“I’m a little OCD about this” just because you want something organized a certain way. OCD is your head telling you “do this or else [insert something bad] happens!” Although these intrusive thoughts can sometimes happen to anyone, it’s not considered a disorder unless it is stopping you from doing stuff or harming you (you’re unable to clean your room because you can’t touch dirty things, you wash your hands to the point that they’re drying out and bleeding, not doing everything completely symmetrical gives you extreme anxiety, etc.)

Sociopath vs. Psychopath.
The main difference is whether or not the person has consciousness. A psychopath will deceive and steal without remorse, possibly pretending to feel guilty. But, a sociopath typically retains some level of consciousness and may experience regret after theft, as they have some awareness of right and wrong.
