The Most Minor Of Annoyances · 11:30am Jun 28th, 2014
I don't think I could sound more fickle writing this, but it drives me up the wall when I'm reading a story and this word comes up...
Foalish
I can vaguely forgive it when it's used in place of childish (since that's what foals are basically), but when people switch 'foolish' for it I start smashing my face into the nearest brick wall. Even the show didn't use as may tortured horse puns as the fandom does. They're a nice touch, especially in cases where the show explicitly uses them often (e.g. everypony, although frankly I don't understand what's wrong with saying everybody/one), but so many writers really take the cake with them I find.
I'm sorta guilty of this mostly because I thought the show runs on this when they are in the pony world instead of the equestria girls world.
