PEEVES

peeve

n.
1. A vexation; a grievance.
2. A resentful mood: in a peeve about the delays.
 

Sometimes - frequently, really - I come across a word usage, a statement, an argument which grates and I am peeved by it. Often there is a misuse of a word, a  misinterpretation, a twisting, a "spin".  Usually there is something illogical about it. So thought I would comment on this. I will try to quote a definition garnered from the Web because that's the easiest place to get one from.
