My pet peeve is when people use numbers or single letters to represent words: "R U going 2 the store?" Makes me want to scream!
(p.s., I have the official typing, homophone, and all-around verbal mayhem ping list! "Typso Threw the Tulips and broke his shift key." Ping to get on or off!)
I'd like to be on that ping list, iff'n you'll have me.
O I C what U mean.
;)
I have the same problem with people who use "&" instead of "and", "thru", instead of "through."
Oh, you've gotta add me! My wife calls me a geek because I am so anal about grammar. She says she had to hire an editor to check her emails before she sends them to me. It's hilarious.
Ping me, PLEASE!
ping!
Just like Yoda so I can be, your ping list I want on.
Please add me to this ping list.
My pet peeve is the Politically Correct twisting of our language. My college professor actually told me that it was incorrect to use the default "he" which was proper english for generations before he started teaching. That is part of the origin of using "their" and "he/she" and "s/he" because there isn't a good generic first person singular asexual pronoun in the english language.
Another pet peeve is misspellings on signs. Usually a sign or banner or headline has only a few words in it. If the owner of the business can't get those few words correct, how careful are they going to be with other details? At least TV commercials are relatively free from misspellings.
