I'm with you on both of those. But I'll be honest, my biggest concern is the "dumbing down" of society due to 'web speak'. "OMG r u [abbreviated profanity deleted] reelz?" "c u l8r!" I see this in formal writing!

Another thing, and I am just as guilty, is the reliance of spell check. It should just be turned off. People my age should be able to spell 'recommend'.

Everyone can spell. It's just that some don't spell well. LOL

Yaeh I konw. Tahts wehre I got it form.

My grammatical pet peeves:

People who don't know the difference between: "your" and "you're" or "there", "they're", and "their"

People who use apostrophes to pluralize words: "Honey, have you seen my shoe's?", "The car's are all parked", "My rifle's are locked in the safe"

This one would really irk me:

"Your going to die because there rifle's are pointed at you"

I'll take it for granite that'd make you loose you're temper.

Loose is another of those words people confuse with lose.

How about "rediculous" or "coarse" when they mean ridiculous and course.

Of course, I haven't a clue how to properly use commas. I just shake them on like pepper and hope for the best.

I guess we all have our failings...

I'm with Kythas. The misuse of possessive plural never fails to draw my attention.

Mine, and I'll keep it short... Knowing when to use:

You can't use too much pepper or too many commas.

The answer is, well, yes.... and no.

Read the full story on dictionary.com.

I dislike statements that are repititously redundant:

Such as, i.e. : I got up at 7 am, in the morning.

/signed/ Me Myself

I had a computer instructor who liked to use irrevalant for the word irrelavant. We tried to tell him, but he never got it.
Irregardless, I learned alot from his class.

I could go on and on, ect.
