    Grammar Pet Peeves

    Your biggest pet peeves? I currently have a bad rap with could care less/couldn't care less, relevant video:



    Also your/you're and there/their are really bad for me too. I have to point out to people who miss it. You guys?

    "u" instead of "you"

    "r" instead of "are"

    To name a few.

    EDIT: Almost forgot, nobody spells out "queue."

    The could/couldn't care less one bothers me a lot too, because it's one of those things that genuinely confused me a few times when I first heard it. I'm all for breaking grammar and using it to convey something in a way that wasn't intended, but when people confuse wordings/spellings to the point that they actually make it difficult to understand what they're saying it's a bit troublesome. >.<

    I'm not too bothered by most errors, i won't even fix my own typos if I'm in familiar company, What really bugs me though is people who don't use commas or full stops, and people who ask questions without question marks.

    Not so much grammar, but I absolutely HATE when someone says "axe" instead of "ask"

    The thing I hate above all else is whenever people don't capitalize their "I" whenever using it by itself. I just stop reading and skip to the next post if I see this. Or if they capitalize a letter randomly after a comma or dash or something similar that indicates a pause but doesn't require a capitalized letter.

    Adding spaces between words and punctuation.

    The only one that really annoys me is "lose/loose" becoming WAY too common.

    Should of.

    Inappropriate use of the apostrophe is what really gets me. Mostly because of all the forum posts lately entitled "Panda's" or something similar to that.
