Another is "alot" and "abit" and the incorrect use of "I" is prolific! Things like "I've just booked a holiday for my wife and I" grrrrrrrrr
A new one is the repeated use of "Yeah no" when answering a question!!! Listen out for it, horrible!!!!

Oh god, don't start me ...
Here's a few that make me want to petition for concealed carry in Cali. You can't do something 'on' accident. You do it by accident. For all intensive purposes v. for all intents and purposes. What's your guyses opinion? (what's your opinion, guys?) One in the same v. one and the same. This post has been edited by klasaine: Mar 27 2015, 06:20 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Mar 27 2015, 05:05 AM) Hehehehe, yeah I hear ya. I've gotten to the point where I just read over those types of things lately, including reading over typos and such. I've become a grammar burnout! Of course seeing "Their, There, They're" out of sorts, still gets my nickers in a twist now and again Isn't that "knickers" Todd? You see that's the problem; it's probably a typo but may not be  My wife ALWAYS says "cornered off" instead of "cordoned off" grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Had an email in the week and the bloke said it was "unlightly" that he would be able to find what I wanted. Another is "hypochondreact" and another is "last result" instead of "last resort" The big problem with being such a pedant is that people really really go to town on your typos pretending that they don't believe its a typo and that you don't know how to spell the word

It's funny, lack of punctuation, using all lower case or 'text' style abbreviations (CU later) doesn't bother me at all.
*Speaking of texting ... is it text, text'd or texted for the past tense of text? -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

That's another one that gets me, the incorrect use of "I". "I've just booked a holiday for my wife and I" grrrrrrrr, "Please take my friend and I home" grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It's fairly easy to work it out if you need to, split the sentence into one for each person. "I've just booked a holiday for my wife"; fine! "I've just booked a holiday for I" nononononononoNO!!!!! "Please take my friend home"; fine! "Please take I home" nononononononoNO!!!!! I'm not going to sleep now
