What grammatical errors bug you the most? (page 2)

Xena

None of them....life is to short to worry about petty stuff like that.

Wednesday - I can accept misspelled words much more easily than improper grammer. When you speak spelling is irrelevant, but when you speak or write improper grammar is glaring.

Hey Xena, I don't worry about this stuff - but it does tell me something about the other person. I don't worry about anything.

Two words that I see misspelled way too often are:

-Ridiculous, spelled improperly "rediculous";

-Masturbation, spelled improperly "masterbation"..

Hey Xena, I don't worry about this stuff - but it does tell me something about the other person.

I agree with the above statement. I don't sit around worrying about someone else's grammar errors, but they do "bug" me. "Bug" as in a minor annoyance.

"I could care less"

Well, if you could care less, it means that you care.

Me, I couldn't care less.

Also, the to/too, their/they're/there, et.al., bug me, too.

The above was drilled into me by an excellent english teacher. Otherwise, I'm a lousy speller - consistant in my spelling errors (other than typos), but lousy.

Well, if you could care less, it means that you care.

Well, I could care less, but I won't. LOL

Like xena, I don't worry about it. I make many mistakes while typing. I was never good in grammar. I do however speak better than I type. That is when I set my mind to it.

Terry

When people quote themselves in a conversation they've had and say: "So, I go 'when will Dad get home' and my brother goes, 'Dad's not getting home until seven'."

"I go" means I said.

Huh?

Or "Axe" instead of "ask".

How about this one: "My brother, he is always drinking my Dr. Peppers without asking."

"My brother" or "He" but not both.

How many people do you know who actually use semi-colons?

I hear you, Terry. BTW, I very much enjoy your writing style as well as your insightful posts.
