"Your"
 

Previously I said I didn't care if people couldn't figure out the difference between "your" and "you're." To be sure, when someone makes that mistake, I figure them to be pretty lame. By lame, I mean they most likely didn't get very good grades in school. Or, they simply were not able to comprehend basic grammar while they aced calculus.

I see this everywhere now. I expect to see it in the newspaper and magazines before long. You know what that means? The incorrect usage will become adopted and included in Webster's newly added words. To me, we're there already.

Or should I have said, "Were their already" ?

Anyway, I find that it does still irritate me that people who can get jobs paying 5 to 10 times what I've ever made in my best year can be so ignorant.

My observation is that 60% of the posters here get it wrong. When I move to other forums about garages or home improvement, etc., it's closer to 90%.

God bless America's education system.

drives me bonkers too....along with "lose" and "loose" and "sale" and "sell"

Your kidding, right? ;)
You're opinion is very important to me. :)

Your right, i've seen it done numerous times. :)

and then there's always advice and advise

or their, there and they're,

it's only going to get worse

lose vs. loose.... it is here on pelican every day.

I saw an ad in the paper the other day for some "rot iron" furniture. Like finger nails on a black board to me.

I read 5 pages of the Performance Products catalog today (yeah, I know) and I saw "Porsche's" used improperly on three of those 5 pages. Err, I mean: "Page's".

What about "ur"

Then and than is my pet hate.

Their are reasons that this upsets you, but there your problems, so they're.

Irregardless, I'm just sayin'.

You hate pets?

Recently, in my mailbox, I discovered an ad for a catering company claiming the best "orderbs" on the island...

At least your knot halving to run Aarons

Hey, you name it, all do it.

except accept, or the affect effect.

All those previously listed are somewhat irritating.

But 'the one' for me is I could care less. Of course you could, unless of course you mean "I could NOT care less"...90% of people seem to get this wrong and in most of those instances their posts become a little comical because of this faux pas...

One that pops up a lot here, is describing reproduction or "repro" parts as "repo". Drives me up a wall. No, your horn grilles from S toddard are not repossessed. Get it right.

Using "seen" instead of "saw" drives me nuts. It will be adopted into the language soon.

If she'll run an Aaron, she'll do anything!
