    Okay, but is there such a thing as a peeve without a pet? (I had a fifth grade teacher who loved to say when he was angry, “I’m peeved!” To this day, he’s the only person I’ve ever known who used the word “peeve” in regular speech.)

    My dad used to allow as how he was “a mite peeved” on occasion.

    I was appalled, in reading the Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, to discover that he used “alright” all the time. He always admitted, though, that he was a bad speller. He had good editors.
