  1. Quoting from Monty Python. Sorry, it’s just not funny when I hear you do it. This applies double to anything about being turned into a newt and getting better.<\/li>\n
  2. Same goes for Princess Bride. Yes, it’s quite possibly the greatest movie ever made, but\u00a0I don’t care that you can recite the whole thing word for word.<\/li>\n
  3. And I’m especially banning the use of British accents by non-British peoples who defy bans #1 and #2. I shouldn’t even have to include #2, because Wesley wasn’t British.<\/li>\n
  4. Also, the word “bloody”.<\/li>\n
  5. The grammar rule that says periods and commas go inside quotations marks, even when they don’t apply directly to the quoted material. Use sensible placement rules, like questions marks and exclamation points! No?<\/li>\n
  6. The use of “No?” as an emphatic.<\/li>\n
  7. The observation that, if I were British, I wouldn’t have to include #3 or #5 in my list.<\/li>\n
  8. Cap’n Crunch. It’s like razor blades in apples. What sadist designed a kids’ breakfast cereal that shreds the insides of your cheeks and the roof of your mouth, and especially that thing that connects the underside of your tongue to the bottom of your mouth?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
