Pet Peeves

My guess is you are seeing the results of text messaging and emailing where everyone wants to type as fast as they can and keypads are getting smaller and smaller. It takes me 5 minutes to read one sentence from my teenage nephews/nieces with all the acronyms and misspelled words.

When did "prolly" become a word? I see that used instead of "probably" and it bugs me!

That, and others like kewl make my skin crawl! Both my wife and Mom were English teachers, I can't help it!:lol:

Ideal in place of idea

That would be grammar, not "grammer". Jus sayin'

:lol: You got it before I did.

I hate when my pets peeve everywhere.

Well, to, too, and two make six...Right?!?! Whats the problem???:wow::smt043

You hit the jackpot with this one.......not only is it "6" but also a palindrome.

 

[billandamy]

"To" and "too" also "personnel" and "personal." I do a lot of proofreading in my job in the USAF and those are the ones that I see a lot!!!! I'm always amazed how many people don't understand the use of "too," "to," and "two!"

I saw your edit before it was edited :grin:

Who's on first?

Give them dictionaries for birthdays and Christmas. Not the on-line kind either. I'm talking about the 10 pound 2,000 page American Heritage Dictionary.

Now THAT one I will have to look up.

Find it?
