Grammar 101 - Needlessly Pedantic Grammar Pet Peeves (merged)

[BUCKYLE]

I always admired people like you. People who are carefree and don't mind the nuanced failings of either, people who wear helmets all day in case they fall.

Cheers.

:highfive:

I wear a helmet because it's stylish.

I hate people that won't use the "search" function and relive old threads.

Don't be a hater.

I've searched. I've merged.

Carry on.

Oh, thanks for the merge, oh moderator overlords.

Do the moderators have such a poor grasp of English that they believe that self-recognized pedantry and grammar lessons are equivalent? Apparently, this is the case. We live in a sad state here in BuckeyePlanet.

(Edit: Ah hell, when I wrote that Peach hadn't posted yet. Um, hey Peach, that wasn't directed at you. . . it was directed at the overlords, you know, the other people. So I heard you are a ninja, pretty cool. Funny how mods are, amiright? No worries, eh? Please don't kill me.)

Grammar thread! What bad grammar habits are most annoying to you? Post them!
Could(n't) care less?
Have/of?
Post!

I think that I of been abundantly clear which one of those options annoys me the most.

Only Peach could find a hittable, harmless, pink ninja.

A couple I encounter at work all the time:

It's supposedly, not supposively.

And it's not "I seen this thing or that" -- you saw it.

I was irked by this today and came to post. :(

"I seen it yesterday."

"I SAW it yesterday", numbnuts, or "I have seen it." how freaking hard is that!?

I am shocked at how often I hear 'supposebly' uttered here in Colorado. I don't remember ever hearing that when I lived in Ohio.

Nothing really bothers me...that's probably because I'm not really sure when someone makes a grammatic mistake...or is it grammatical?

Not to be confused with the equally common Grammatica mistake.

Best. Post. Ever.

I'll be in my bunk.
