    its don't not dont... and i won't even get started on ELIPISIS.. which is when an elephant is desperate for a pee.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    . . . yeah because this is such an important issue with the world today. Lets critique everyone's grammar on the internet
    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

    I basically chalk it up to people typing too fast. Im sure most people know how it's spelled.
    So you buried all your lover's clothes
    and burned the letters lover wrote,
    but it doesn't make it any better.
    Does it make it any better?

    So many people on here get this wrong.

    Etc stands for et cetera.

    That is all.

    Don't you love frustrated English teachers?

    the other foot in the gutter
    sweet smell that they adore
    I think I'd rather smother

    I do not like it when people say "flustrated." One time I was talking to this guy and he kept telling me how "flustrated" he was. I was looking at him and thinking "is this guy for real?" Finally I just started laughing...I think he ended up getting very "flustrated" with me! :rolleyes: :p
    Is that like flustered and frustrated? :p

    What about if someone says..... "Not Nececelery...." :)

    Or "that'll learn you..." "that'll learn 'em"

    people have thought i did not mean to say this..... at times.... very flustrating!!!

    Yeah, "that'll learn you" is a peeve of mine too.

    A couple of my pet peeves, since we're talking language.

    "Can I axe you a question?"
    "How long do you guestimate it will take?"
