#7 Capitalization. I don’t read posts where the writer doesn’t have enough respect and is too lazy to use the Shift key. Only childish teenager mentalities think not capitalizing is acceptable, so why would I read such comments from a child?

Good luck. I have been tearing my hair out for years over these mistakes in presumably educated journalists’ works, all to no avail. Now bald, I have had to resort to wearing a wig, which comes off more easily and much less painfully, but the problem still persists.

While I have been known to occasionally split an infinitive, I’m quite certain that a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with. :=)

And then there's the specious use of apostrophe's, the use of "half to" instead of "have to" to mean "required," the literal torture of "literal," and the confusion of nominative and objective case, something my friends and me don't ever engage in.

And let's not talk about splitting infinitives and dangling prepositions ...

I'm all for correct grammar, and try to practice it, but FIRST we have to deal with "Press one for English"!

Why the hell do I have to press "one" to get the language of MY Country?

I always take information with a grain of salt when I see simple grammar errors such as these.

More:

"Less than 10 items." No, "FEWER" than for numbers, less than for quantities.

"Gift for free." Wow. A double whammy. A gift is free. You get something "for nothing" OR "free," but not "for free."
