Pet Peeves?
I've got 6 of them.
1. People who repeat themselves
2. Pushy people who do rude things because it isn't politically correct to stop them
3. Someone who does something against your will or without your knowledge and tell you it's because they are doing it for your own good. Who gave them the right to run my life better than I do?
4. People who can't count
5. People who repeat themselves.
(I know it was a cheap joke, but I did it for your own good)

Stupid me! I know that! I'm trying. I somehow got into a spelling bee. *shrugs*_____________

People that overuse the word 'and' and try to get everything into one sentence and end up losing track of what they are trying to say and end up creating more confusion for the reader and not really making their point and just really making a mess and then not knowing when to stop.

I'm a little bit nervous about replying on this thread (due to my poor grammar, spelling etc. so please forgive me any mistakes I make)but this has been bothering me for ages! Is it supposed to be 'I couldn't care less' because that would explain what someone was trying to say in a tv programme (sp?) I was watching the other day? I think it might have been in Buffy, I can't remember but I spent ages trying to work out which side of the argument they were on.

My biggest pet peeve is when people say "bolth" instead of "both"

Heh-heh, don't worry about it. I just found it especially funny because it's my wife's pet peeve. She hates any bad grammar and spelling (makes her a GREAT editor for my writing though). Sometimes she just stops reading emails in disgust. I'm slowly weaning her from the idea that humans are capable of perfection.

In which case, don't let her see that sentence:
'bad grammar' is poor English.

But "bad grammar" isn't bad grammar. It's an adjective and a noun, nothing wrong with using them together.
And it may not even be "poor English." I'd like to hear your reasoning for that.
