Grammatical pet peeves [I Hate Bad Grammar]
The following is a partial list of spelling and grammatical errors which annoy me:
• Questions written in the form of top ten list titles (e.g., "Why some people don't wear masks?" instead of "Why don't some people wear masks?").
• Apostrophe abuse.
• Spelling errors which cause the word to become another word (e.g., "DMX was a good raper.").
• Two is a number. Too means also. To means "in the direction of". Why is this confusing?
• There is a location. They're means "they are". Their means "belonging to them". Why is [i]this[/i] confusing?
What are some of yours?
