Not only that, a code comment on the homepage refers to "ajax" rather than "AJAX". And would you believe that in the page copy, "JS" isn't in an <abbr> tag? The nerve of some people!

English is my 3rd language so please forgive some typos and inaccuracies like these. I understand that these are similar for some people as when I see people using "their" when they mean "they're". I agree it looks less professional, so I'll try fixing those. Is there any other bit that sounds off? Edit: That should be fixed! Also a couple of missing `css` => `CSS`, `umbrella` => `Umbrella`, etc.

  Thank you for the quick fix. And no, I don't go crazy over grammar or spelling (English is my second language as well). I think the website looks pretty cool and well written overall.

The phrase you are looking for is "pet peeve".

  +1. Using "OCD" casually to mean "things that annoy me when maybe they shouldn't" is a bit insensitive to people with real diagnosable OCD. Elements of OCD, like intrusive thoughts, are present in almost everyone, but usually the term "OCD" is reserved for cases where it has a significant negative impact on life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive%E2%80%93compulsive_disorder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive%E2%80%93compulsive_d...

My pet peeve is when people get mad when others don’t get a product’s branding 100% correct. “Ugh, it’s ‘Lego’, not ‘legos’! ‘jQuery’, not ‘jquery’!” IMO the world needs more people who don’t give a shit.
