What's Your Pet Peeves?

[Mark]

Bad English, I keep getting messages from people who can't spell or grammatically put together a decent sentence. I know some people find spelling and grammar hard but at least try?

That does tend to be a peeve of mine as well. I realize that English isn't the native language for a lot of people out there on the 'Net (and English isn't always the easiest language in the world to learn, even for us native speakers), and that it can sometimes be easy to make the occasional mistake if someone starts typing really fast (I've done that myself). However, when I see situations from people who indicate that English is their main/only language who make glaring mistakes (such as confusing "your/you're" or "their/they're/there" - c'mon guys, I'd learned the difference between those words by the time I was in second grade, and I don't even claim to be the greatest master of English out there), then it does start to be irritating.
