Austin, you have so nailed my pet peeve right on the head.....figuratively! :)
That is a major annoyance of mine, too. We have so much in common.
How have you been? Call your brother when you can. He'd love to have a diversion from the figurative hell of work. I'd love for him to have a diversion, too.
