My biggest pet peeve is when people say "Where is it at?" or " irregardless" You don't need to dangle your prepositions. Always correcting people on that one including my boss. Daughter of English Professor and Masters of Library Sciences regards

but that dont effect the way that i talk..

This post is full of errors, but I cant spell to save my life. Download Google Toolbar it has a spellchecker.

My biggest pet peeve is lazy tying like wot, instead of what?

wow, how ironic i was going to post about my pet peeve

and went to the last page to post it and low and behold

the last post ACTUALLY contains said peeve.

the correct use of the phrase is: "couldnt care less"

NOT "could care less". if you could care less- this

literally means you CARE A LITTLE BIT.

no big deal-but it does make you look ignorant.

P.S. ( i dont use caps, and like to write with run-on sentences so im not perfect either)

sarcasm, i really could care less if you correct people. the nazi part was a joke. i am sure you knew this with the that engorged, pulsing brain.[/QU

Ive also struggled with this one also, but couldnt, couldnt care less mean that you already care so little, you couldnt care any less? But Im not sure on this lol (I started a sentence with the word But uh oh)

i'm assuming you're rastafari. if so thats technically another language and beyond the bounds of proper english grammar, so don't sweat it.
you get a B- for good effort.

Lighten up just a little. Remember, grammatical errors can be their own art form. Remember Archie Bunker? "I just don't want you to do nothing on the sperm of the moment." Or how about this classic, "Hell hath no fury like a woman's corns." And who can forget the classic, "My doctor tells me I got a communications disease."
Other fine artist include: Dan Quayle - "What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."
GW Bush - "Anyone engaging in illegal financial transactions will be caught and persecuted."
Al Gore - "A zebra does not change its spots"
And more are made every day...

love the al gore one. i think it's hilarious when peolpe use a common saying and get it wrong! i love the george bush " you misunderstimate me all the time."
