    My biggest annoyance is when someone says or types "PERSON'S NAME is good people" when it is one person they are talking about.

      Only when punctuation is not used. (at all) Run on sentences give me a headache.

        That sucks dude.

        Meh, that one is intentional though. Or at least I hope so. More of a colloquialism.

          It is really the only grammatical error on this board that has ever pissed me off. I immediately label them a n***er when I read it.

          All other errors I blame on fast typing or just your normal type and they do not bother me.

              I've never seen people type it that way, but it does not surprise me that there are idiots who do.

                    When people whine about the way someone else posts on a message board it changes my thought of that person more than someone who doesn't use proper grammar.
                    I think damn what a whiny bitch.

                      How could that ever annoy anyone? Even Lewis Derrick gets a kick out of that!

                              We're human. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. I try to use proper English, but I make my mistakes too. Minor errors don't bother me. I hate it when someone doesn't give a shit that they can't write since it shows a bad attitude on their part.

I think that's what's disappointing, that a lot of folks just don't read anymore, so they don't know how to write or even talk like an adult.
