The same thing that pisses me off every time I hear it. Not using person first language. A person 'is' not their mental illness, they 'have' it. BIG difference. One of my colleagues did it the other day and I had to correct her, she should know better, working in mental health and all. And she gave me attitude. Then I just heard it on the news. Argh.

I'm easily irked today.
