Definitely is the most commonly mispelled word. Seriously, pay attention to it, I rarely see it spelled correctly. Doesn't bother me, but it always catches my attention.

'ur' definitely annoys me tho.

Peopel who don;t pay attention to teh words they are typing abotu.

That is usually what my threads look like before I go back and proofread them. I transpose a lot of letters and always seem to put semicolons instead of apostrophes. Don't know why I do that.

I shall have been eating breakfast before lunch.

i'm just going to respond to several things mentioned because i don't want to quote everything...

yes, i'm a grammar and usage nazi. yes, i usually do not capitalize. yes, i recognize the irony because i know irony is the opposite of what you would expect, not a coincidence. many people say ironic when they mean coincidence.

i do not fault people who don't speak english natively when they post. foreigners usually speak and write better english than most americans and brits.

i'm not "delicate" because i think people should have respect for the rules of the english language. if you can't express yourself effectively, i get the impression that you're unintelligent. it's hard to wade through a poorly written, rambling post so i normally don't even read them.

as for my biggest grammar peeve: very unique. unique is defined as "one of a kind," so there can be no degrees of uniqueness. something is either one-of-a-kind or it's not. an item cannot be "somewhat unique," "kind of unique," or "very unique." it's the one thing i always correct people on because it's like nails on a chalkboard.

Thanks Daffy, you reminded me of some more pet peeves with that one.

ATM machine
PIN number
advanced planning
people who type daffy instead of daffodil
people who say Calvin & Hobbes isn't the best comic ever
