Of course.

An excerpt from an email from a friend I just got:

Oh god. That pisses me off just reading it. Maybe I'm shallow, but that person would no longer be my friend. :seethe:

Erin is a sweet girl, but her abilities to communicate in writing are not up to par.

It's weird how two people who are polar opposites in certain aspects can be good friends.

You're a better and more tolerant person than I am.

I thought of this thread when I read this on TFLN.

Quote:

(919): Learn some fucking English or leave me alone! "Your" is for something that belongs to you, like 'your herpes'. And "you're" is a contraction for "you are", like "you're not sleeping with me".

Babydoll · 10-08-2009, 06:31 PM

Nothing bugs me more than the misuse, or rather abuse of the "your" and "you're".

When I see that, I want to hang them by their testicles.

Galeongirl · 10-09-2009, 05:07 AM

Or their/there/they're.

This one and the you're/your always confuse the shit out of me because I can't read the sentence properly. Takes me two or three tries to finally get what they mean.

I think my head just exploded.

My biggest grammatical pet peeve - and this is from someone who has graded a lot of essays - is the placement of a comma between the subject and main verb of a simple sentence. For example: "LeBron James, scored 35 points last night."

I will never understand what compels people to do that. The positioning does not even resemble a speech pause position, which is where most people make comma-related mistakes.

In the larger picture, it is not terribly egregious, but I thought that I'd share nonetheless.

I, think that is pretty, stupid.

I second that. Also throw in those who misuse "to, too, two".
