I hate buzzwords! It's not "carbon," it's "carbon dioxide"

And what about these stupid yellow ribbons everywhere? I hate that too!

    Carbon yellow ribbon -

    I have a pet peeve about people who have pet peeves.

    You have come to believe that this is very important, at least important enough to get quite angry about. I don't think it's very important. When I get too angry about something that's not very important I do my best to take a good long look at me. Something always turns out to be going on that I need to not be dodging around by getting too angry about something that's not very important. But that's me.

    Best.
