[QUOTE="best_fullback, post: 409889, member: 15318"] Yeah this really annoys me too. Constantly have to correct people, and am usually given the reply "Jesus, it doesn't matter", but to me it matters a lot. I always just thought it was me being pedantic, but, as this thread shows, its just lots of people are very ignorant to correct English. Other things that grind my gears: [LIST] [*]When people get sayings or idioms wrong. Some classic real life examples include: "Been there, done that, wore the t'shirt", "After this season of Britain's got talent I think they'll plug it" [*]General poor punctuation that makes sentences unreadable, or their meaning ambiguous. [/LIST] My Granddad actually gave me a really interesting book about misuse of punctuation called 'Eats shoots and leaves'. Well worth a read if you are commenting on this thread! [/QUOTE]
