I suspect a good portion of them do it to talk trash about Chevy, this being a Pontiac forum and all. I've heard plenty of people say it too, with obviously derogatory intent.

I have a zoo full of pet peeves, but the ones at the top of my list are
loose instead of lose, and we was instead of we were !

Awesome people, thanks for the additions. Not as much flack as I thought I'd get. Several said "Whatever. It's not that important." In most cases you're correct (man, I was tempted!). It can make for an annoying read for those of us who were educated to speak and write properly and correctly, but don't let that affect our abilities or desires to help our fellow Pontiac enthusiasts. Apparently grammar is not taught any longer in elementary, middle, or high school, and it's probably not even expected in college any more. It certainly isn't a requirement for internet news feeds, as I saw one a while back talking about "a Muncie 4-speed matted to a high-output 400."

Anyway, don't let poor grammar detract from the intent of our posts, which is asking for help, which I have done several times, and also for letting people know "hey - I did this and it really screwed things up so don't do it!" This is one of the best forums out there, and I would never (well, okay, I did once) correct anyone on their word or phrase usage.

BTW (Oh geez, now I've done it) a DogMeister, for the person who asked, is a person who grew up in Detroit and hung out with the Mad Dogs, and somehow had the title bestowed upon him.

What you really meant to write was 'anymore' in one word. 'Any more' is reserved for quantities. 'Anymore' is the adverb.

I just went to an English Composition web forum and they were talking pet Pontiac peeves! They think it should be G.T.O.

Cragars with the G/T centercaps. Or flawless Keystones. Otherwise Rally IIs are it.
