| I will admit it, I have to suppress my spelling/grammar Nazi gene several times when on this board. In light of that fact, I wanted to see which of the popular gaffes around here make you upset.
Several of mine are:
would 'of'/should 'of'/could 'of' - It is supposed to be 'have'
'there' vice 'their' vice 'they're' - I know that they all sound exactly the same, but is it so hard to see that they mean really, really different things?
'dominate' vice 'dominant' - These two don't even sound alike, I have no idea why people make this mistake.
That's just a few of them, I'm sure I can come up with more, but my therapist wants me to take it slow these next few weeks.

If my butt was as ugly as your dog's face I would shave my face and teach you to walk backwards.

I'm surprised Fargin didn't mention Clot trolls. clot trolls are not a pet peeve, those things people can change. clot trolls can't help being obnoxious pains in the arse.  Sam is one notable exception.

"What a thorn in my eye."
"You're making hills out of moles."

| When people start thread that doesnt ask a question, instead they make a statment of opinion that does not invite discussion.
