FIRST ANNUAL

Aaarrrgh! Nothing sends me into fits of rage so easily as this one does.
NOTHING is first annual, EVER!
You may call it "first ever" and then, after you have the second one a year later, then, THEN you may attach the word annual to it.
The world may explode tomorrow, and then, when it does, the resulting lack of existance would pretty much ensure that you won't be around to have your second annual whatever-the-fuck you had, thus rendering your Goddamned First annual thingamagig not very annual, now wouldn't it?
**Unclenches teeth**

As for my other pet peeves...
eXpecially v. especially
waRsh v. wash
affect v. effect
and finally,
the switching of lend and borrow.

For Fucks sake people, lend = to give, borrow = to take.
So no, I cannot borrow you five bucks, and don't even think about borrowing your best friend that DVD they wanted to watch.
