Minor things that bother you

On acoustic guitars, those noises made by repeatedly dragging the fingers lengthwise on the strings while fretting chords.

I concur.

That's part of the charm of songs like "Hard Luck Woman."

I really would like to go through and filter out both foreign-language channels and programs which are the following:

• Foreign-language dubs of movies originally made in English
• Any talk shows in any language (not interested)
• Any news programs in a foreign language (if there is a real-time translation, it is delayed)

Unfortunately, I'm only fluent in English, and while my ire may be pointed to Spanish-language because of the Hispanic representation in Texas, there are also Asian-language (Japanese, Korean, Hindi) channels in the DFW area as well because of the population. What I don't mind...

• Foreign-language films and programs dubbed into English
• Foreign-language films and programs with English subtitles

Ironically, I also am annoyed at people who turn up their noses at "foreign" films, especially the films that are subtitled. "Why should I read a film?" is their response and ignore the fact that some of the English-language films were influenced, either directly or indirectly, by these foreign films. Guillermo del Toro's 2006 Pan's Labyrinth (aka El Laberinto del fauno) is a fantastic film with great imagery and effects, but many people are turned off because it's in Spanish.

TL;DR version: I like to be able to understand the media that I'm listening to.

I usually have subtitles on anyways for English movies because a lot of the time I can't understand some of things the actors say.  I rather watch a foreign movie subtitled versus dubbed.

Thst instead of that.  Autocorrect doesn't correct that at all but will correct "is to I'd" when you want it as a word.  Thst is not a word at all. Is, of course, is a word.

Mine corrects it. Maybe you've mistyped it so often it thinks you meant to do so. That's happened to me a few times with other words.

I generally prefer subtitles.  If it's in Italian, I don't really need subtitles and it bothers the heck out of me when it's dubbed.  Unfortunately, my wife can't stand subtitles.
