I'm not trying to call anyone out, but a lot of you use the phrase

"might of" instead of "might HAVE"

I know this isn't English class, but geez...

I also know that many of you will now keep saying "might of" just to spite me.

So...carry on. I just had to say that it was bothering me.

These idiots of today think everything should be spelled just the way they spell it in a text message. It takes me 3 hours and an entire bottle of Tylenol just to get through a short answer test due to the extreme strain on my brain from trying to figure out what all the shorthand stands for.

does it bother you when people dont capitalize the first letter of the sentence and dont use apostrophes to show the omission of letters, because that really ticks me off....

I hate it when people use the word pitcher instead of picture...as in "I just got my pitcher taken..."

The pitcher is the guy who throws the ball....a pitcher is what you pour water out of ....

A picture is an image of something...

Drives me nuts..

Something that bothered me this morning, actually it scared the crap out of me! I'm driving to work and thought I saw a rat in the front passenger floor board. It turned out to be just a beer bottle.

What bothers me is your need to start a thread about being bothered by grammatical & spelling errors when there are only 3 games being played in 3A this week! :mad: :mad: :mad:

it bugs me when people use "drug" as the past tense of drag. DRAGGED!

Even Bill Clinton once made this blunder on national television, returning to bad habits he developed as a youth growing up in Arkansas.

Oh, to (two, too) be a (an) college student again (agin). The most pressing issue would (wood) be whether (weather) to (two, too) study for (four) your (you're) final or (are) go to (two, too) the Chicken (chicken) and (,and and,) play some (sum) pool (pull).

Instead I'm (im) also (all so) grading papers (paper's) that make you (ewe) reach for (four) the Tylenol or (are) something with a (an) twist of lime and (,and and,) salt.
