 One that I've pretty much given up on is the almost ubiquitous use of  "sent from my  _*******_" below the message.   It is easy to remove that tagline on any phone or laptop, and I don't really care how anyone sends an email, but it is a distraction with the faintest scent of elitism.  Sometimes I've returned otherwise serious thoughts to such emails with "sent from my HP Extreme Envy dual monitor 148GB RAM/4 TB desktop" or some other silliness below my signature, but no one seems to bite on that...  
 
 Then there is this list below from the research department at Monticello, a mere 30 minutes from our home near Charlottesville VA, a place we visit regularly with friends who stop by and wish to learn something about Thomas Jefferson.
 
 Entry 29 of 72 appears salient.  Earliest known appearance in print: 1891.  Old adage indeed.

 Kind of a pet peeve of mine,  and I'm not picking on Leslie (thank you for the picture). 
  There never was an ARC-5.   There was an AN/ARC-5, an SCR-274N, and ATA-ARA.    Of course, we all use ARC-5 in a generic term and hopefully the context makes the actual meaning clear.......   Going for my first cup of coffee now.....
