"Should of" and "Intensive purposes."
I understand that not everyone's grammar is perfect (mine sure isn't) but would it kill you to not just jumble two words together randomly?

'I could care less' as opposed to 'I couldn't care less' Really grinds my gears, they mean the complete oppisite of each other they can not be substituted for each

People that replace "er" with "a" when they're typing. For instance: Neva, foreva, chedda, whateva. It's just insanely annoying. If you speak that way, then fine whatever...but when you type that way it just really looks like you're trying to come across as a thug. It just looks stupid.

If you speak that way, then fine whatever...but when you type that way it just really looks like you're trying to come across as a thug. It just looks stupid. I agree with this. Replacing "er" with "a" is stupid. Everybody knows it's "ah", not "a" ;D [/joke] I hate misplaced apostrophes. It is understandable if someone like me, whose lingua mater is not english, makes mistakes like that one, but seeing american people writing "you're" when they mean "your" makes me want to bang my head into a wall. |

People who type the word "like" as some kind of transitional word. It's...annoying but acceptable in regular conversation, but to put "like" between every other word when you're TYPING is pointless.

I'm so guilty. I blame being Californian. I say "like" pretty much every other word. I try not to do it when I'm typing, but since for the most part I type the same way I talk... It slips in every once in a while. |

When people talk about their favorite X-Men, the word "rouge" usually shows up a lot.
It's ROGUE! ROGUE ROGUE ROGUE ROGUE ROGUE.

Bad punctuation and grammar. I had to explain to a 60 year old man at work today the difference between the words " Gods' " and " God's ".

People misspell words on purpose especially when you are in a conversation and suddenly it make the conversation less interesting.

When people say "for God sakes" instead of "for God's sake". That irritates the living f*** out of me.
Also, this one bugs me so f***ing much and nobody else seems to even notice it. The phrase "guess what". People always put a question mark after it - IT'S NOT A f***ING QUESTION! It's a COMMAND!
