Quoted from MrExtrm:

Also, hate that people associate spelling with intelligence. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, and some words just don’t make sense in my head.

Quoted from crwjumper:

Referring to the ball trough as a ball trou. As in “Drop Trou”. Short for trousers. I hate to correct friends and customers so sometimes I’ll just say the correct pronunciation a little later when talking to them. The correct pronunciation is “troff”. Like the container from which animals feed.

Quoted from pinzrfun:

This -
My good friend can barely spell or do basic math yet just retired from Ford where he was an engineer.

Quoted from jrpinball:

He pronounced it "trow". Apparently, no one noticed, and it wasn't corrected.

Quoted from bigguybbr:

That sounds like he was an engineer in title only, and more likely a tech.
To be a professional engineer (I’m speaking from a mechanical perspective) he would need a bachelors degree that included 3 semesters of calculus, 2 semesters of calculus based physics, differential equations, numerical methods, linear algebra, mechanics of materials, statistical analysis of operations, thermodynamics, statics, dynamics, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, modeling of dynamic systems, and 2 semesters of machine design before picking a specialty. Then they would need to pass both their Engineer in Training (EIT) exam, work in the industry, before then being able to take their Professional Engineering license exam (PE). This is why almost every engineer has a minor in math because you take enough credits in it during the course of study to qualify without taking additional classes.
Now English on the other hand, if it’s not technical writing, engineers don’t get picky with our words
BTW this isn’t a pinball peeve, but a life peeve of mine when people call themselves engineers who aren’t. Ok rant over. Let me put away my soap box…

Quoted from RedDragons5:

Tournament players......please line up your dumb song on your dumb phone BEFORE you step up for your dumb turn. Standing there scrolling through songs is, well....dumb! I hope you run out of gas on your way home, ya dumb dummy!

Common courtesy like using the fucking search feature.
