Shorthand texting and emojis have bastardized the English language. Some work people I talk to can't type a whole sentence properly. I frequently can't even make out what they're saying.

"I seen that..."
MOTHER frickER. It's either "I HAVE seen that" or "I SAW that"

You see this a lot on Tigerdroppings. Annoys the hell out of me.

My big one lately is people who add 's to business names that don't have it in them.
Modesto's
Zea's
Eliza's
JCPenney's
Barnes and Noble's
None of them are called that. Stop it.

We need Jules from Pulp Fiction to walk the Earth with his sidearm, correcting people's English grammar with great vengeance and furious anger, so that people will know that he is the Lord - of Grammar - when he lays his vengeance upon you.

Sell, sell, sell....the word you are looking for is sell.

My job requires effective communication via the written word
I have to correct my staff daily with grammatical errors and misuse of certain words
The usual suspects are:
They’re. There. Their.
To. Too. Two.
Do. Due.
In route. En route.
Than. Then.
Comma vs semicolon placement.
Your. You’re.
Use of acronyms: lol, wtf, tbh, etc etc etc
People, you’re writing a professional email to a client, not texting a friend about the tranny you boinked last weekend!

My theory is that people are reading less and less. Reading is the best way to master grammar and vocabulary.

There's a restaurant on I-95 outside St Augustine that drive me nuts, Taco's Queen.
Should it be Taco Queen? Is there some dude nicknamed Taco who named it after his girl? Or did the mean Tacos' Queen as in she is the many tacos' monarch?
Just looked online and while their website tacosqueen.com/, signage, and Facebook all have Taco's Queen they've also added a more grammatically correct alternate Taco Queen logo.

Actually, people are reading more today than ever before… problem is they’re reading social media and text; writing is devolving the same way language has devolved

People who write "to" when it should be "too" or vice versa.
People who write "could of" "should of" and "would of" instead of "could have" "should have" and "would have".
Spellcheck is not foolproof. It's still up to human beings to watch their own fricking grammar and spelling.

Grammar is white privilege.

OP - Non-standardized American English is in vogue…spelling, punctuation, syntax. It is also known as militant ignorance.

Slow? We started legitimizing "alternative" English in the 70s or 80s. LINK
MalcomX wouldn't be to decipher anything that was going on in the 90s, let alone today.
