Seems every thread I read has multiple incorrect usage. It drives me absolutely crazy! We are all adults and we should know this!

What drives me nuts is people using "loose" when they mean "lose."
BTW, got your asbestos undies on? LOL

If it drives you nuts here, try taking a look at Facebook. That will be a real intro to the (ever growing) illiterate class.

This is HUGH! Finally a series thread for the grammar and spelling nazis. Can we also talk about proper capitalization and punctuation?

The longer I'm on the internet, the more prone I am to such misspellings.
Two that drive me crazy:
"Are" for "our"
"Noone" for "no one"

No comma required.
Don’t put a comma between the two verbs or verb phrases in a compound predicate.
Incorrect:We laid out our music and snacks, and began to study.
Incorrect:I turned the corner, and ran smack into a patrol car.

I see college-educated people on FB (my niece for one) who can’t get “to” and “too” right.
To: ilovesarah2012
Let's not forget:
1. your and you're
2. "other then" should be "other than"
3. "should of" is really a contraction for "should have" and should be written as " should've"
