People using apostrophes to create plural words bothers the mess out of me.

Then and than get to me.

That and the ole dominate vs dominant.

Then there's one I see from time to time. People say sale instead of sell. Like, "anyone looking to sale a car?"

Yes. I've had to learn how to ignore it.

It still isn't easy to ignore them.

Bother is not the right word for me.

Notice? Yes.
Judge? Absolutely.
Care? Unfortunately no...I've come to expect it most of the time.

But I then categorize people who make those mistakes and I never forget. They drop a notch in how I assess their intelligence unless they prove themselves otherwise.

Yes but America's standards are being lowered by the day. Guess I'll have to get used to it. I also hate when someone abuses the word "like".

It's pretty pathetic when adults repeatedly make spelling mistakes when writing one syllable words in their native language.

Grammar cops.

No, it is not a contract that people write here.

Yes, it does. It is embarrassing that college aged kids cannot spell or properly speak their native language. How in the hell do they graduate?

Grammar mistakes and typos don't bother me on message boards. Non-Englishisms like "should of" grate on me a little more. Or people reversing "sale" and "sell." Those aren't mistakes, they're signs of stupidity.


This, and people who can't get "quiet" and "quite" correct. I always see dumb arse women on FB talking about how it's nice and quite with the kids gone. It really does bother me more than it should.
