Today's pet-peeve.... and I've had this one for a few years now, ever since it became way too common in online discourse.
I can't stand it when people qualify their comments with "As a" or "As an," as if it somehow lends more legitimacy or weight to their opinion. Its so infuriating. Its like saying "I'm am expert," when we all know that experts don't tell you they are experts, they show you with their knowledge and as a result you can see their expertise.
"As a sane person," I find this phenomenon infuriating. hehe!
