There's nothing wrong with a dictionary, which could, for example, guide you to the grammatically correct "there ARE two things I hate" rather than your preferred but embarrassingly incorrect version "there's two things...." There ain't, ya know.

As for being pretentious, you are the working class hero archetype, belittling educaton in others, decrying literacy and rejecting anything you are too dimwtted to appreciate, rejecting it with the squawk of a disillusioned and resentful underachiever.
As for your preposterous dismissal of dictioary definitions, clearly its use was called for, as I doubt that you would have taken my word for it instead.

A for my sounding stooopid to you, I can live with it.

I come on here to chat with people I like and to a certain extent, some I don't. It's supposed to be fun. No one spell-checks or grammar checks (or you might have spotted your own misspelling of the words 'education' and 'dictionary' or known that dim-witted is hyphenated and not one word; and that's just a couple of your howlers). If you're going to haul someone over the coals for their English skills you'd better be precise yourself or it's just yet another case of you looking stooopid.
