in college, i was on a judicial review board that met bi-weekly. there was this gigantic, sloth, corn-fed, purdue-heifer of a girl who was one of my fellow board members and she used to drive me bonkers. every meeting, she would use the term "president," when she really meant to say "precedent."
finally, at one of the meetings, i snapped. i stopped her mid-sentence and told her the word was "precedent.....not president....precedent." the other board members giggled and one of the guys said "man, finally some had the guts to say something."
drove me up the wall.
also, my ex-gf (and this is one of the reasons she's an ex) had a fundamental problem with to/too usage. also, when writing, things would "peak her interest" instead of "pique her interest."
perhaps i should be less critical.
(and before you mention my capitalization (or lack thereof) it's been covered in previous threads.....)
