I expect to catch a lot of flack for this, but I just can't stand it any more...

Learn the difference between there, their, and they're.
Learn the difference between to, too, and two.
Learn the difference between pedal, peddle, and petal.
Learn the difference between council and console.

The proof is not in the pudding. The proof of the pudding is in the taste.

There. I said it.

My #1 pet peeve is anything for sale WITHOUT an asking price. No price, no further inquiry, I'm out period. EVERYONE knows what they expect to get for anything they are selling.

Who cares! We don’t need grammer police, we’ve had those types here, and I just don’t let that little stuff bother me. No one is perfect. So just ride with it, and don’t let little things like that bother you.

Although I completely agree with the OP, I will paraphrase a statement I heard many years ago, 'proper etiquette is knowing not to point out when someone is not using it'.

Since we are on the subject, what is with using a phrase like " it needs rebuild" instead of "it needs to be rebuilt" or "it needs rebuilding" or "it needs a rebuild". I see that way too often.

Well yeah, MA, but some of us were taught how to diagram sentences in grammar school not like currently when English is a second language.

True, but we are not in Scool here. we’re all adults, so what if someone who would like to post something, or ask for help doesn’t hit the “right” letters. I think we can all be mature enough to understand what the poster meant, and just let it go. Why act like children about something so trivial? CRIKEY!

How about people who use too many annoying flashing emoticons in their messages.

Taking our primary form of communication seriously is not acting like children.

I almost forgot......."tack" instead of "tach". I was just looking at a "Camero" on Craigslist over lunch and the author of the ad used "tack" in his description. At least it had new "brakes" and not "breaks". When I see that, I am always tempted to ask what is broken.
