a little side note:




Grammatical errors/incorrect forms of speech that make me crazy:

The misuse of

-your/you're (ie 'Your ridiculous!') ...My what?
-their/there/they're
-too/two/to

'I could care less.' Could you? I couldn't care less.

'Could of', 'would of', 'should of'. Could HAVE, would HAVE, should HAVE.

'Mine as well.' What? You might as well return to Grade Three.

'Try and' Try to follow me with this one.

'A idiot.' You're an idiot.

Excessive commas in place of periods, semi-colons, etc.

I would of made my list a little bigger, but these are my top piss offs, your probably thinking I'm a anal cow anyway, and I'll try and not correct you in real life, although I'll do my best to pretend I could care less.







*DISCLAIMER: In no way am I insinuating that I have perfect grammar/formal English. The above are some very common mistakes that particularly grind my gears. I am aware that this blog post is most likely laden with errors.
