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.

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. >_>

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".

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."

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

"alot" doesn't really bother me.

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

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.
