Personally for me its probably whenever people act like certain things are mistakes when they aren't, such as AAVE or alike, being grammatically incorrect, whenever, firstly, even grammar is dependent on things like dialect. The difference between a dialect and another language is not always clear, and is in some cases, incredibly unclear).
AAVE actually has a lot of features which most other dialects / forms of English does not. Some verb tenses for instance:[media=https://youtu.be/tqA_7kgij7M]
A lot of these (incorrect) standards exist because of old British guys liking Latin and wanting to systematize language in a frankly unnatural way.
That being said, the other comment about English orthography being all messed up is one that peevs me as well.
Another one, although I try not to care about it, is people screwing up "your" and "you're" peevs me a bit.
