Yeah thanks for the first grade grammar lesson, I'll try hard to remember it. 

" I hate it when people say 'supposably'. I really, truly hate it when people are too dumb to tell the difference between 'no' and 'know'. I've seen that way too frequently on YouTube. Nobody seems to know when to use the word 'they're', as it's almost always replaced with 'their', or vice versa. People seem to always use apostrophes in the wrong places. While we're on a similar subject, I hate things like 'lol', 'lmao', and just generally all emoticons. If it's not worth it to type it all out, it's not worth saying. "

The "then" and "than" is commonly not used properly in the English speaking world. People always screw it up and it pretty much got to the point where it really doesn't matter too much to any ordinary person. Grammar is a bitch to learn. 
 
Now, if you have good grammar and type properly but spell a common word improperly (like they're spelling it as if it was pronounced that way instead of how it is spelt), that actually pisses me off.

I see plenty of mistakes on forums, and no doubt make many myself. If someone has a question then I will answer it as best I can, none of my answers are peer (pear/pier/pare???) reviewed and most are rushed. If I screw up with my spelling and get my point across then what matters is that I got my point across, and hopefully it helped. That doesn't mean that I don't notice mistakes, and some really get on my nerves, particularly the ones I made, but I just read the post again as if it were correct and forget about it.

Thank you! This has been annoying me for months, it's all over the internet.

I dunno whether it is as blindingly in your face in the states, but here in England, all the cool kids seem to take regular words and use them completely out of context or with a completely different meaning. That is also something I find very annoying.

Just for you I shall now type out *smiley face* or *raspberry.*    Ok no, not really.  Yep, sorry, I'm an emoticon user.    I can totally get on board with grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors.  But leave me my emoticons.  :(    However, I will join with you when it comes to the jemoticons.  Those Kirby-looking mother fuckers. "

If people would just take a moment to read their messages before they post them, this kind of thing wouldn't be so rampant.

I hate it when people start a sentence with the word "and."

I generally only get pissed off at people's bad internet grammar when it's clear they don't know any better. But aren't foreign. I mean if your first language is clearly english, but you still make major fuckups like you're and your, I don't know how you even managed to turn the computer on. I want those people purged from the internet.  
  
But if you're just learning english, or you're obviously trying your best, I don't care. Screw up all you want.  
 
But having horrible english out of pure ignorance of your own language is inexcusable. These people spend a shit-load of time online, yet in all the reading they do, they don't notice the glaring mistakes in their own writing?  
I just don't know how these people even pass school. 

i think that it's the school/ education to worry about. i learned that man. i know that than is for comparing and then is time.

" What annoys me is when people say "I could care less". That means you do care, because you could care less than you currently do. They should say "I couldn't care less", because that means you don't care, because you can't care any less than you do. The then & than thing often comes from english not being their first language, but more often than not, it's Americans who say "I could care less". "

When people write "of" instead of "have". I can't stand it.

Both can correct, it's just that I could care less doesn't play well in type. I've always interpreted "I could care less" sarcastically - as in "I care very very little but I suppose it's mathematically possible for me to care less". "

I was actually thinking about this today and reached the same conclusion. "

" I'm not a native English speaker and even I get frustrated at all the incorrect uses of certain words. "

And yet, not as annoying as people who write "could of" or "should of" instead of "could've" or "should've".

" @MooseyMcMan: so "your" saying that "you're" interpretation is better "then" mine.  "

I haven't come across that often. It would annoy the hell out of me as well man.

Than/then and you're/your: these don't bother me too much, but there is one word that really drives me crazy. 
 
I go into a blinding rage when someone types "prolly" instead of "probably". "Prolly" is not a word, and if you use it, fuck you.

I don't mind bad grammar. Trying to understand all this XD, D, P, HAWT and other internet lingo fries my brain.

You know what else makes me angry? When people say "verse" when they really mean "versus." Are they trying to imply that two things are going to be attacking each other with poetry or something?

This thread has a surprising lack of ChristOnIce.

You think you're better THEN me!?! 
 
I'll stop trying to make you mad now. 
 
Grammar stuff annoys me as well. I don't often call people out on it though as I'm just as guilty on occasion. I try though.

You started three sentences with a conjunction, failed to use proper punctuation many times, had incorrect sentence structure throughout and failed to capitalize 'English'. Tut, tut. "

" I'm typing this sentence at 80 words per minute and I am not going to make any mistakes. I'm going to tell you that I did not pay any attention in English class because I much prefer things like numbers in Math class than all the words in English. "

I hate people who hate people.

"If I were", never "if I was".

• There is based on position
• Their is when you own something
• They're is short for They are

Well then?

I really don't care. Sure people should learn proper context usage, but whateves, it is a video game forum.

Thanks for the pro tip!  
 
Not a native english speaker, and paid no attention whatsoever in English class. 

My biggest pet peeves are people who mix up their, there, their or your and you're, use "good" and "well" in incorrect situations, use effect/affect incorrectly, or people who misuse then/than. 
 
Edit: Oh! Can't forget its and it's, who's and whose.

" There are few things I hate more than bad grammar and spelling. "

I was browsing the deli at my local supermarket when I came across this tag for cookies: 

Better then homemade!  

Better than homemade! 

Better tham homemade!

It can be annoying, but at the same time often I'm at work and doing other things at the same time when I am typing so my grammar isn't going to be perfect. Also, sometimes I'm on late at night and make tons of grammar mistakes.
 
I don't correct other peoples grammar unless they're friends and I'm joking with them. 
I often typo or fat finger a lot. 
You will often see any post I make get edited at least once because I am not happy with my own grammar, haha
 
Other people, though, can type how they want; as long as I can understand what they are saying I won't care. I only get offended when the grammar mistakes are intentional- and not in a funny way, but rather in a "I speel worng cus I bez kewl!!!!11!!"
 
Ya, otherwise I don't bother people with it. I have no real pet peeves with spelling for other people; I'm harsher with myself.
