[XemaSab]

[uppityperson]

1. "your" instead of "you're" for you are

:evilgrin:

[nytemare]

6. And we can't forget "there", "their", and "they're".

They're driving their car over there.

[nytemare]

8. For all intensive purposes, it is the medium in the middle of the road.

:)


on edit: I didn't mean to respond to my own post.

[uppityperson]

10. no, the medium is running the sayance

[nytemare]

11. That would be the median.

[uppityperson]

[Oeditpus Rex]

[Whoa_Nelly]

[yewberry]

[salin]

12. rotfl

cu seem to of covered near to all of the bases in ur post, 'nuff said!

[Jamastiene]

17. Yep, it couldn't be HELL if the freepers weren't there

to torture us. Little do they know... So, little do they know.

[Blue-Jay]

5. HAHAHA!

:D

[cynatnite]

7. 'lose' and 'loose' n/t

[CanuckAmok]

9. the apostrophe crime's. And the term "very unique".

"unique" is an absolute. Either something is unique, meaning that it is one of a kind, or it's not unique.

There is no scale of uniqueness, motherfuckers.

[Hugin]

28. We be speak'n Merkin here, very unique languages compared...

to whatevers them be speak'n in Canuckistans.

[justabob]

13. then/than usage errors

example: There are more apples then oranges.... ARRRGGHH :)

No idea why this particular crime bothers me so much, but it does.

[NuttyFluffers]

15. the repeated and criminal neglect of proper capitalization.

disgraceful!

:P :hide:

[billyskank]

16. Lots of apostrophe-s in plurals

as in, Pub Meal's.

[RebelOne]

22. I see that on these forums all the time. It drives me crazy.

I just wonder how some people passed English and grammar in school.

[Ladyhawk]

44. Its the influance of the internet's. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

24. That drives me nuts, as well! And It's instead of its!

It's is a contraction for it is!:grr:

And the plural errors often show up on menus and in newspaper ads. ex: hero's (meaning submarine sandwiches):eyes:

[pinniped]

30. Here's a's cool's site's I's checked's out's a's while's ago's:

http://www.apostrophe.fsnet.co.uk/

http://www.apostrophe.fsnet.co.uk/examples.htm

[Rhiannon12866]

31. ROFL!!! What great links! Thanks, pinniped! :D

The first one should be required reading for anyone who ever uses the written word! And the second one has examples of exactly what sends me over the edge! It's just not that hard...:eyes:

Rhiannon:hi::yourock:

[pinniped]

33. Thanks!

There's an funny doggy-doo-doo sign at the park up the block from my house.

[Rhiannon12866]

34. You're welcome!

Doggy-doo-doo? What does it say?:shrug:

The sign that sticks in my mind was at the amusement park where I worked for a summer job. The employees' entrance had a notice stating that "all brakes should be taken behind the park restaurant." I imagine I would have caught hell if I had removed them from the park train that I drove...:eyes::rofl:

Rhi:hi:

[pinniped]

37. It was something about picking up DOGS FECES.

The park didn't bother to order the stencil set with the apostrophe character.

[barb162]

18. to, two and too being confused

[DanCa]

19. a lot of exclamation points thru the chest of grammar police :D

The devil is a freeper after all.

[gardenista]

20. It's hard to say. Could it be the possesive of its=it's?

[barb162]

21. Oh, that's always a terrible one; so many people screw that up

[Rhiannon12866]

25. It's is a contraction for "it is." Drives me nuts, as well...

Its is the possessive.:eyes:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

23. Loose instead of lose

their instead of they're

Punctuation outside quotes (only question marks go there)

[DS1]

26. Ok. Your in Hell. What grammatical error's do you see frequently repeated?

[bmbmd]

27. I thought I was in

urine hell, but it was just a stone.

[Hugin]

29. Hey! Save those up...

They're worth a fortune!

Just ask Bill Shatner!

[XemaSab]

39. Word.

n/t

[BikeWriter]

32. bade speling.

[Atmashine]

36. And then...

...you start a sentence with a preposition.

[LeftyMom]

38. In hell people use apostrophes for plurals instead of posessives.

I don't even want to know what they do to possessive plurals.

[deadparrot]

40. "shudders" v. "shutters"

they're/their/there
ending sentences with prepositions
proper use of apostrophes

They don't really irk me, but they definitely cause me to stop a second and blink.

[SW FL Dem]

41. OK this is spelling but JudgEment drives me nuts, n/t

[Oeditpus Rex]

42. According to WNW

"judgement" is an alternate spelling.

[SW FL Dem]

43. As a lawyer, it still bugs me

a legal judgment has only one e.

[Maddy McCall]

46. It drives me nuts, too.

Especially here, the churches put on JudgEment House, which is like those Texas Hell Houses. On all of their advertisements, they misspell judgment. It drives me BATTY.

[Maddy McCall]

47. .

.
Meant to respond to OP.

[TK421]

45. I don't see grammatical errors, but I do see people who are constantly

correcting them....then it must be hell

[Maddy McCall]

48. This one sends me into spasms: Calvary for Cavalry.

And, on map tests, it kills me when students write Whales instead of Wales.

Those are my two pet peeves.

[spacelady]

49. I think you covered all the lose ands. Its hard to be prefect.

[jobycom]

50. Comprise for compose. And all these goddamn name-games (Repuke, Repuglican

LimpBalls, all that stupid nonsense.)

[Maddy McCall]

51. And the one I absolutely despise:

"clenis"

[jobycom]

53. Yeah, nothing like

insulting our own guy, even if that's not the intention.

[devilgrrl]

52. Read most of my posts.

You'll find several. :-(
