Something I Hate...15

I hate that laser is spelled with an 's' and not a 'z'.

Laser beam, one of the great English word combinations and it is cheapened by the laser's inability to execute full onomatopoeia status.

Science has really let us down.

  4. Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation could easily read: Light Amplification by the Zapped Emission of Radiation.

  5. Hmm...not my first choice, but Z doesn't give us a lot of options, so Zapped it is.
