In addition to you're/your, I'm frustrated by their/they're/there and where/were confusion. My dad recently made a sign and wrote "use's."

I especially hate the wrong way of forming plural. English is not my native language and even I know all of the things you mentioned, so those mistakes mean that people are lazy and don't care to check up on the use of grammar.<br /><br />Haha, I laughed at the "loose weight" bit. I imagined fat cells floating around. That was funny.<br /><br />The only verb I don't mind when it comes to the "said bookism" phenomenon is hiss, but when only one word is hissed out. That is possible. If someone hissed out a whole sentence - well, that would sound a bit ridiculous. And, alright, I suppose you can laugh out a "yes" or a "no", but again, not whole phrases or sentences.<br /><br />Great post!Irena @ This Miss Loves to Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127816068294702715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-27431715552641793882011-02-19T22:13:04.361-08:002011-02-19T22:13:04.361-08:00I so agree, and could probably add to your list!I so agree, and could probably add to your list!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07091698933263675862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-60001805591700647742011-02-19T21:37:25.259-08:002011-02-19T21:37:25.259-08:00Haha agree with all of these.

That is a personal annoyance of mine too. <br /><br />A mistake that annoys me is when people say "pacific" instead of "specific."

The "definitely" one really gets to me, although sometimes when it's spelled "defiantly" it will make me smile. For instance, as I picture the person boldly saying, "I will DEFIANTLY go to the bookstore tomorrow!" like it's against the law or something. "Definately," on the other hand, just makes me cringe.danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-6841381902779199932011-02-19T18:48:36.521-08:002011-02-19T18:48:36.521-08:00We're thinking alike.
