I love reading this type of thread
I don't have any new errors to add, but I thought the following may be of interest! It's a copy and paste job, I take no responsibility for any grammatical mishaps...
A man runs into the obstetrician's office and says "Doctor! My wife is in labour but she keeps screaming "shouldn't couldn't, wouldn't and can't"! What does it mean?"
"Oh that's ok," the obstetrician replied, "she's just having contractions".

Re: Pet grammar bugbears
Yep, I worry about this too...
I hate "youse" also much! Drives me crazy! I say "pair of twins" that's possibly wrong too
Hahaha!!! Good one
I could go on for a long time about my peaves, but mainly I just hate laziness - those people who know punctuation and grammar etc. but choose to let their computer fix their errorsespecially when they don't use spell check and what they've written is left as unintelligible mess!
I will admit to having problems with "its and it's". I just get confused when I think I'm using "it's" as a possessive, and it's not

My biggest pet peeve is when my friends on facebook (or even in text) say something and it takes about 10 minutes to read just one sentence!!! I then point out that it is simple spelling and grammar mistakes they have made, which they reply with "but I didn't finish my schooling so I have an excuse" (or something to that extent)... A lot of the mistakes I see are very simple ones that would have been corrected in Primary School, and I know they at least finished yr 10!!!
I will admit though, I am not perfect when it comes to grammar and spelling (only of some words), especially when I am tired. And I am one of those people that will purposefully change a word, or even sometimes a complete sentence, if I get stumped on spelling or grammar. Lol!!!

Re: Pet grammar bugbears
I really dislike when people send you a text or an email and never use full stops or punctuation its like they don't even know they exist you could be reading along thinking you are reading a really long sentence that doesn't make sense and then realise why I wonder how many people dislike this a well

People who insist on using apostrophes' on the end of any word that ends' with "s". They got the products' at the shops'.

Direct quote from Facebook this morning ... "Your not fooling anyone with you're brave face."
Your = Ownership.
You're = You are.
My pet hate at Uni is people referring to the marking rubric as the rubik's. I always ponder whether they may think that the rubric is some form of complicated brain puzzle, and that's why they can't get good grades.
