Most annoying/common grammar mistakes


Kodiak

Recommended Posts

There, their, and they're. These aren't as annoying as the your, you're thing that happens often on the internet, but are still pretty annoying. I always have to wonder what about the internet suddenly makes people lose all of their prowess and years of schooling in the English language.

One that's not quite as common, but I still see fairly often, sometimes even in published books is...

 

Horde and Hoard.

 

Normally I'm willing to let a lot of issues slide, but that just really gets me. No, you do not have a horde of potions, you have a hoard of potions.

I don't really care if someone forget a comma here and there, or uses your instead of you're. As long as you can still read and understand what they are trying to communicate, then no harm no foul.

 

What I find very annoying is when self-proclaimed 'grammar nazis' disregard someone's argument or opinion because of a grammar mistake, or when they look down on someone, or belittle their intelligent for the aforementioned reason.

When somepony uses "write" to describe the direction instead of "right" that annoys me.

 

Same thing for ponies who use "right" to talk about what they are writing, or discussing about someone's writing.

i hate it when people say "i" without capitalizing the letter i.

 

Yes I hate that so much, I used to NEVER do that, until recently I accidentally did it a few times and when its late from time to time I use i and it kills me inside.

This comes from the days of cell phones having a limited number of characters to send in a text message, so to cram as much information in 161 characters, people would shorten the words as much as possible and blatently remove punctuation. But yes, this is one thing that seriously gets on my nerves....

 

Also, when people say 'But' at the end of a sentence. This is pretty much only verbal, but still *shudders*

 

Another thing that gets to me is when somepony in a chat room types phonetically.... :angry:

Not anymore. I prefer using grammar now. Common grammar mistakes are usually on words I don't use often. Such as mispelling "throne" as "thrown".

Though most of my typing mistakes come from me hitting the wrong key on the keyboard. Writing "if" instead "of" because the I and O key are next to eachother is a common one.

"should of"

 

This, this, one thousand times this.

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best—" and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.

"should of"

 

I don't usually type that mistake but IRL I'll make the mistake of "should of" instead of "should have" and also "why" instead of "while".

Sometimes when it comes to the your, you're. their, there, they're, and other stuff like that, I know the difference, but just by typing or texting too fast I can sometimes over look it. I really hate the grammar like this; hey wat u doin 2nite guurl? or 2morrow can we plz go to the prk?? I hate that shit. Just type "you" its not that hard!!!!!!! And numbers belong with MATH,<<(EVIL), not intermingled with the english language.

MOCpages is full of "cl0n3t@rd$ or H4L0 K!DD!E$" who can't spell or think independently.

 

Example:

 

H3Y, TH@T !$ $UP3R C00L! C@N Y0U CH3CK 0UT MY M0C$ PL34S3!

 

You know something is wrong when their name is Commander Bob of the 999th "buzz" legion with honor or Staff Sergeant Mark of 641st legion.

i is grammer nazi

 

Its hard for me to read something and NOT notice errors, a typo, grammar, whatever it is. I know I'm not perfect, nobody is. I just hate it when it seems intentional, and not just an honest mistake.

 

Here's one: "HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH" BREATHE MAN, BREATHE!!!!

"thats realy depressing" /me picks up shotgun.
