Your/you're and any time someone mixes up the two. Seeing that makes me wish with every fiber of my being for the ability to piss on people through my monitor.

Whenever I see the letters 'u' and 'i' used individually (no, I am not referring to that retardedly out-of-date pickup line... -.-"), I get that feeling you get when you want to beat the person in question dead with a chemically imbalanced rabid squirrel on 'spack' (which is the mixture of 'speed' and 'crack', thusly making 'spack' =P).
Other than that, any butchering or total negligence of English grammar is unacceptable and should be punished in forms of rape and molestation.
Well, that excludes the English-as-a-second-language people, like me! =P
Yeah, Korean was my first language, but I learned English fast. Now I am almost as good at writing in English as anyone on this thread.
So any misspellings I make on here are totally by mistake...
...or the lack of care. Yes, I am a lazy biatch. biggrin

There/their/they're
I hate, hate, hate it when people use one when they should be using another. This is something kids learn when they are eight for goodness sake!

Mkvenner I must say that when people say "irreguardless," it really bothers me. Also, when people say (in real conversation) "wtf" or something similar, I would like to punch them. On forums too, but that's a little more acceptable. And it's irregardless, not irreguardless.

...Oh joy of joys.
In 2nd grade, my teacher made me "Spelling Manager" of the class's work. It was Hell on Earth.
Some of the spelling was atrocious.
And a bit of trivia: When I was in 2nd grade I knew how to spell atrocious.
Here's what we got from the rest of the class.
Blden=Blood.
Wichsh=Witch.
Diffrhnt=Different.
The only problems I had were a few missing letters, using t and d (the lowercase) interchangeably, and comma splicing. I still have the problem with comma splicing.
As for T and D lowercase, I'm dyslexic. Sue me.

Arduin Linsang Spinel Mkvenner I must say that when people say "irreguardless," it really bothers me. Also, when people say (in real conversation) "wtf" or something similar, I would like to punch them. On forums too, but that's a little more acceptable. And it's irregardless, not irreguardless. dictionary.com Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

There are so many words I just can't stand hearing/reading.
Anything with an 'x' in place of a 'cks' (and vise versa) is a major pet peeves of mine. Like "sux" or "secks."

I just realized that I absolutely abhor when people use asterisks and other characters to demonstrate cursing. #^(% is not a curse word. If you make me go through the effort of deciphering every damned one of your little... things, then I am going to rip your eyes out through your a**s.

My best friend always uses the phrase "as well" as one word, like "aswell." It makes me want to wring her neck because when put in such a way, I hear it in my head as "uh-swell." It's dreadfully annoying.
Regarding the "your" category, that's sort of one of my pet peeves too. You see, I love taking quizzes online, and when I run out of official quizzes to take, I take the user-made quizzes. I took one once called "What Kind of Soul Are You." The fact that there was no question mark at the end bothered me, but its creator appeared literate, so I decided to take the quiz anyway. Everything went smoothly... That is, until my results at the end. Below the description of my result, there was a beautiful drawing of an angel. I wanted to save it, but something caught my eye: Just above the angel's head, the creator of the quiz had written, "Your a pure soul." That moron ruined a perfectly good picture, and that's the origin behind my abhorance of the misuse of "your/you're." It's needless to say that I never took a user-made quiz again.

1. All punctuation marks sit snugly inside the quotation marks.
2. Fortunately, it wasn't "ur."

My mistake.
I knew something was wrong; I just couldn't quite put my finger on it. Serves me right for writing such a paragraph so late at night, I suppose.

Every time a 1 is used for an exclamation mark is absolutely terrible. Also is tipping a whole line full of those, I hate it. I mean what is up with that anyway ? The same occurs with the question mark of course.
I mean I do understand it with only one exclamation mark and even one should only be placed in a good spot, not behind every damn sentence.
