Sometimes bad grammar drives me nuts, then other times, who cares. I hate texting lingo, i hate when someone writes, or speaks for that matter, and says, "He is a person that...." WE ARE WHO's, not that's! Another one, "I had a professor once that gave A's to you if you participated." A professor would give an F for a sentence like that! Yet we see them all the time! Grad students write/ talk like this! A professor is a WHO, and he/she never gave me shit!

Spelling, lack of capitals, apostrophes, periods, they dont matter to much to me.... i do it all the time. But perhaps they drive others nuts.

FESS UP! what drives you nuts about grammar? Good thread!

I'm pretty tolerant, I can put up with most things except for rampant misspellings that make something nearly unintelligible, misuse of your and you're; too, two and to; they're, there and their; and could/couldn't care less.

Yes, that sentence is a clusterfuck of commas and semi-colons. I could care less. Or couldn't I? AHHH!

Besides what has been mentioned, I cant stand people not knowing the difference between loose and lose.

No, we did not 'loose' the game last night. Unless the game itself, as an entity, was somehow contained by us...and at some point we released it, 'loosing' it.

Last night we just lost.

This has always, ALWAYS annoyed the everloving shit out of me.

haha
anyone ESL gets a pass

/except my wife...I get to correct her all day long

I'm pretty lenient as long as whatever someone is saying is readable, even text/AIM speak. I've had a lot of friends with different ethnicities and countries of origin, some with a better command of english than others so I guess I got used to looking past the mistakes and seeing what a person is actually trying to say.

But at the same time as an amateur writer, grammar mistakes by people that live in this country and should have a respectable command of it's language anger me.

One of my friends who has a sweet name by the way (Lekshmy Sankar) is Sri Lankan. She has an almost imperceptible accent.

What she doesn't have is command of prefixes/suffixes, tenses and syllable emphasis. Hilarious to be talking to someone who has perfect english, then adds an -ly to a word that shouldn't have one.

That probably annoys me more than anything else.

That, and not adding the word "else" to the end of the above sentence and statements similar to it.

I didn't see this before... Actually, "that" is perfectly correct to use when referring to a person. It is entirely unacceptable, however, to use "which." Leave that for inanimate objects, events, etc.
