    It’s a small thing, and irrelevant to your comment, and I’m sorry for any embarrassment I may cause you. You’re using the wrong word. When a car actively decelerates it is braking https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/brake-or-break-difference

    Other than that, I do agree with you, I put about 50k km (30k miles) on the odometer each year, and the amount of shitty drivers out there is astounding. The other day I saw an elderly couple trying to enter a roundabout. It was a busy section of road during rush hour. Driver was looking both right and left, instead of just looking left like you’re supposed to. They had a clear left, but oh no car is entering the two lane roundabout to our right, we better yield … Generally roundabouts, it’s like people didn’t hear about them when training for their license.

        The difference in spelling between “brake” (as in, the thing that stops your car) and “break” (as in, what happens to your car when you don’t stop it in time and it hits a tree).

            Might be, but getting so angry while driving that you drive like an reckless asshole as some kind of weird revenge on an unrelated third party is an anger management issue.

            One that should disqualify you from driving.

              Depends what you mean by angry? Out of control, yeah. But I was never out of control. Thats you putting that on me, to make yourself feel superior. Classic case of redditor syndrome.

                Using multiple punctuation marks comes across like yelling.

                See??? It’s like I’m yelling with my keyboard!!!

                It’s like a step below caps-lock.

                    It’s not just me dude, I’m just one of the many people here telling you that you sound unhinged.

                    We create language together. This is just one of the rules we collectively agreed on.

                Sure. You totally weren’t out of control when you were recklessly driving and endangering yourself and everyone else around you. That’s was a totally reasonable thing to do, right?

                “Out of control” when being angry doesn’t mean that you feel out of control. It means that your frame of reference shifts so much that you do idiotic things while fully believing that you are in control. That’s what you call an anger management issue. You don’t even realize that you are out of control with anger and feel totally justified in the idiotic things you do while angry.

            I don’t write in my native Danish, gør jeg vel pikhoved? Because doing so would not be understood very well.

            If you want to come off as an insufferable cunt with anger issues, who’s watched too many fantasy movies, you can keep writing in Scottish. But be advised that you can’t dictate how what you write is interpreted.
