People who don't get grammar.

"I could care less."
Don't you mean you couldN'T care less?
"Whatever."
Learn the phrase.

"At least" = 2 words
"A lot" = 2 words
"Irrigardless" = not a word
"Aloud" = not the same as "Allowed"

Is it a lot to ask to use simple grammar? I mean, come on. I understand incorrect punctuation. I'm a bit of a comma whore myself.

It's "that" not "dat".
You can't "ax" someone.
I don't care if you speak it that way; it's an accent. Don't write it that way.

"No" doesn't mean you understand.
"Write" doesn't privilege you.

Semicolons have more purposes than ";]".

"Your" is ownership.
"You're" is not.

"To" "Too" "Two"
It's embarrassing that they need explained.
"To" = "I'm going TO the store."
"Too" = "I have TOO many books."
"Two" = "I'd like to win TWO million dollars."

This really isn't beneficial to anyone unless you're 4 and learning this for the first time, and, in that case, kudos to you for being so savvy at 4. I've learned with most people that retaining information regarding grammar is undesired. It's sad when I meet people who don't know the difference between "are" and "our".

Get on this world.

  1. Another one that bothers me is the difference between affect and effect, for some reason it pisses me off when people say "this has effected my life." If people took the time to learn grammar they would realize this:
    "affect" ->> verb
    "effect" ->> noun
    And yet another is that people ALMOST ALWAYS spell the word "separate" wrong. It's SePARate not SePERate.
