Grammatical pet peeves.

[Catavenger]

It bothers me when people say:

almost unique.

Unique means one of a kind so there is no almost to it.

loose and lose!
I've seen that a lot :24:
Also drives me batty with there, they're, their.. your, you're.

The word uber drove me insane for a while.

I hate when people use "prolly" and "totes" instead of probably and totally. Drives me nuts!!!

Oh, and "axe" instead of ask...and "Pacific" instead of specific. UGH!!!

I hate PROLLY! Drives me nuts too! But pretty much everything that is grammatically incorrect drives me nuts though.

I dislike " Who dat "

I dislike " Who dat "

I dislike ANY butchering of the English language that fits that same mold. Dat right, who dis, it's like dat, and so on. Talk like you have some fucking grasp of English, okay!?!?!?

And, although it's not grammatical really, I hate when people type lIkE ThIs!!!

 

[FoxInSox]

lIkE ThIs!!!

Yeah.. it's sorta creepy LOL

 

[griz bear]

another is " look likes "

Used to have a pretty big chat place on Paltalk years ago.
There was this gal who used to say 'thankee' instead of thank you.
Thanx, thx, ta, ty..
But thankee? drove me nuts. hahaha

patalk was fun a long time ago.

It sure was Fred, in it's infancy.
We'd play live music and have our web cams on and be posting in chat all at the same time.
Some freak who'd come in my room did something horrible live on his cam one night, so I left there and never went back.
Still talk to a lot of those folks though.
After discovering forums, chat rooms seemed so boring and silly.
I've always said forums are like chat rooms, only in slow motion.

Has anybody mentioned lead yet?

Lead is the present tense verb. It's past tense is led.

Lead is a metal, so you can't say you lead a prayer yesterday. Maybe you leaded it, but I'd need video proof.
