Oh, "supposebly" is def. another one of mine. It just screams "poor education" to me.

Pencils with worn down erasers that cause metal to touch paper when erasing and the people who use them. The sound, action, and thought of give me a " phil's cotton ball" type reaction also.
another pet peeve: people who stand and chat in the middle of hallways
people who walk on the opposite side of the hallway (you stick to the right hand side, like driving, stop interchanging and wlaking side by side with your buddy)
People who walk 3 across on a crowded sidewalk.
Improper use of "there and their."
Posting an essays worth of words and no punctuation/seperation between ideas
Writing a three paragraph essay and using the word "you" and its derivatives 14 times. (I'm helping to edit my school paper, unofficially because our last issue had 49 errors in eight pages. I almost died reading it.)Originally Posted by Bears

LMAO. My gf yells at me for that all the time. I use scratch and itch as the same word. "Irregardless... I could care less."
"your" and not "you're"
I don't care about punctuation, just use the correct word.
"These one's"
Unless you are picking out 1's to put on the side of your house that is house number 3111, you will almost never correctly use "These 1's."
People who care/comment about what type of beer I want to drink.
Just wait until you are a teacher Greg. 120 Research Papers, 95% done incorrectly with language that almost resembles English.
Oh I know, I know. I had my 7th grade CCD class do a small paper on the Holocaust after I taught a 3 week lesson on it, and by small paper I mean answer five questions with two sentences each. Their ideas were good, but my gosh, their sentence structure and grammar was nightmarish. It's all because of texting. No one talks or writes anymore. Cellphones are great, but they are destroying language.
I'm surprised they wrote that much for you. I have an issue getting college students to write well thought out 3-5 sentence thematic topics.
Me too. Generally they do as I ask because I don't go by the book in that class. The book is stupid, meaningless, and boring, so I try to bring in history as much as possible and tie it in so they can have some interest level in it. And even if they don't, a five part series I created called "Religion and the Civil War" was a lot of fun...for me.So at least I'm enjoying myself!
This would lead me to alcoholism
LOL I picked a bad time to quit smoking. Been about a month now. No urges...unless I deal with these idiots.
By the way, the front page headline for our school paper read: "TUTION ON THE RISE".
Look very closely.
I have this thing where I can't attach my name to garbage. I'm just a contributor, not an editor, but I was so annoyed at that paper that I sat down and circled all 49 errors and left comments in the margins, then handed it to our editor the next day. Then I got home to realize that I had missed the front page headline. I took a picture and sent it to him with the subject: "ONE I MISSED!" I have now volunteered to help edit because I can't stand ignorance. And our paper staff includes faculty members. There is a difference between making mistakes and not caring. Our paper is a rag.
Always hated those tution bills.

In fact it was my Aunt who noticed it that day. I handed her the paper to show her my article on our disastrous parking lot situation and she thought there was a Professor or Administrator named Tution who got a promotion. I didn't know what she was talking about, and I looked and I almost fell out of my chair.Always hated those tution bills.
Oh my god, seriously. It's INTENTS AND PURPOSES.

Won't even lie. I'm experiencing the onset of a cold and I just did exactly that.
