Not a written error , but I really hate when people "axe" a question.

While misused punctuation is annoying , what is truly annoying is not a comma in the wrong spot, but when a paragraph contains no puncuation whatsover and just goes on and on without any break and you can feel yourself losing breath as you imagine in your head someone trying to read aloud what you have just written and you are almost out of breath as you realize no one can speak that long without a break. :)

Nothing however other people do however pissees me off more than when I am the one making a mistake. Damn internet.

Don't like a comma before and in a list (depends on the style sheet you use), don't like the use of phrases like "report back" - it's redundant and don't like the lack of a possessive case before a gerundive!

Errors that drive me crazy are wrong use of:

their, they're, there
your, you're
too, to, two
Yes

As well as the pronunciation of:


your as "yer" (this one drives me crazy)
We're as "were"
going to as "gonna"
want to as "wanna"

asphalt is not pronounced ash-falt. There's no ash in it.

People who say "cement" instead of "concrete" They are not the same.

2 much usage of slang or shortforms. People who can't spell have no hope of ever getting it if they're in "texting mode" all the time.

This has always bothered me as well.


how about people posting using all lower case letters or the other extreme POSTING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

English errors don't bug me. If its clear enough to portray they're meaning, than its clear enough fore me. :)

What really bugs me is grammatical errors, when sentences are so disjointed that reading is a pain.

The phrase "I'm just saying"


The phrase adds absolutely nothing of value, so why use it.
