[stylist] Pet PVS

[Eve Sanchez]

Alright now. I will jump on the band wagon. My pet peeve is people who
think they are so superior that they need to constantly correct others.
Whether it is a mispronunciation or spelling error (which could be a
typo)... relax. It is not the end of the world if it is not corrected.
