when really little things start to bother you, it's usually an indication that big things are bothering you and you can't face them, so you express your anger by ranting against insignificant things. Who cares what they call it? We call it a TV, not television, CD rather than Compact Disk, etc. Debating your peeve is pointless, because it's not enough to make you angry, something else is making you angry.
Gussing you're a baby boomer (since you've been involved with environmentalism since the 70s), I bet you're depressed about aging. It's hard, but it's a chance to reassess your goals and redefine your life.
Don't turn into a cranky old man.
