alot alot alot alot alot alot, IT'S "A LOT" YOU FOOL! Options

[voguelove]

whats your biggest pet peeve in regards to grammar?

mine would probably be the words "a lot." it's two words. and i absolutely hate it when i see older teens using it as one.

[*steve330*]

improper usage of ellipses
mixing up their they're there
attacking/insulting someone with piss poor grammar/spelling

[marzipan]

ugh
"your" and "you're"
"their" "they're"

The rules regarding possession, and just the contractions.
It's so simple!!! But it aggravates me when people mix them up. >_>

I see what you did there!

[SarahxJoy]

Some:
- "a lot"
- The whole misuse (or no use) of contractions thing: "your", "you're", "their", "they're".
- Things like, "I must of done something" instead of "I must have done something".

[shiftieeyedpnoi]

it doesnt matter to me...
when i type online i dont care for apostrophes, and sometimes i type alot together because im typing fast and i cant tell. it was a typo.

the only annoying thing is when people start using numbers and shit like that to type. thats just like wow youre f**king retarded, yeah?

Also "use" vs. "used." Ex: "I'm use to doing this."

[Chicago]

"your" and "you're"
"their" "they're"

same here..

[*alovesopure*]

"Their" "They're" and "There".

"alot" doesn't really bother me.

[trulyandnever]

Alot doesn't annoy me, it's alright.
But they're, their, there, any slang & shortcuts... piss me off :)

THERE COMING THIS WAY.
Wat? Hoo?
L4w1, wh4t3v3r.

[Lolitakitty]

They're and there and their.

[laxumaster8]

i used to write "alot" insteand of "a lot" until my mom told me that it was wrong...i have no pet peeves in grammar tho

[xBUTTMUNCHx]

Dont instead of Don't
and basically contractions.

[alysaphobia]

It bugs me when people still misuse "they're", "you're", "your" and "their" even though that's a fairly easy concept to understand.

[micron]

aww man. i use alot a lot, dont use apostrophes, and confuse theyre their and there, and youre and your. haha.. uh.. hmmmm....

[slipper]

You know what's sad and pathetic-- I remember an ENGLISH teacher of mine from grade school taught us "a lot" was one word. It really pissed me off.

[LennonLime]

Just, basically, almost any kind of chatspeak rubs me the wrong way.

[mochafrescato]

uhhh.. Im not too fussy about this kind of stuff...what does bug me though is when people type or say "finna" E.g "I finna go to the mall.." im like WHAT?? HUH??...TALK ENGLISH!

[*superstitious*]

I sense much anger in you...

jk

Mine is "irregardless." It's smack worthy.

[dannyordinary]

I would say it is the word whatever, because it's a rude way to automatically dismiss the conversation. Also, if you use that word in an argument, it doesn't make you look too credible.

Oh, damn. Well, there's my you-learn-something-new-every-day moment.

[*inspiration*]

The use of anyways rather than anyway.

[*karmakiller*]

I don't complain about people not typing correctly. I don't use proper grammar, esspecially when I'm in IMs. When I'm in IMs with someone it's not like I'm writing a novel.

The "their", "there", "They're" sometimes bugs me, because it's so simple. "Buy", "Bye", and "By", although not too many people do that.

Yeah same except for..writing in numbers; 175 [--_-/\/.

[gelionie]

The people around me don't have exceptionally good English, so I can bear with their English as long as it's understandable... but sometimes I try to correct them. I hardly get annoyed though.

[*alovesopure*]

"Buy", "Bye", and "By", although not too many people do that.

YES! I don't understand how someone could confuse those.

There is this one guy I know, who dropped out of HS, and he can't type worth crap. Honestly, my little siblings (8 and 11) can type better than him. It's pretty sad. Whenever he IMs me, I have so much trouble trying to read/figure out what the crap he is saying. Its REALLY bad. I'm not exaggerating at all.
