As other people have posted, "looser" instead of "loser."

Some others that annoy me: "facist" when people mean "fascist" and "missle" for "missile."

Oh, and people that type in all lower case annoy me to no end.

It makes you look like you:

1. Are too lazy or dumb to reach the shift key,
2. Have an inferiority complex,
3. Are the reincarnation of E.E. Cummings,

or

4. Are all of the above.

pet peeve

“irregardless”

from dictionary.com “an erroneous word that,etymologically means the exact opposite of
what it is meant to express, attested in non standard
writing from 1912, probably a blend of irrespective and
regardless. Perhaps inspired by the double negative used
as an emphatic.”
