it's time for me to list my grammatical pet peeves again.

[lartinos]

would of. omg. it's WOULD HAVE.

here's a common one I can't even correct anyone on: Going to prom.
does being a senior in high school mean you don't have to use the word "THE"? Prom is not the name of a place, like "Denny's". I'm going to Denny's makes sense. I'm going to Gym does not because it's THE GYM and THE PROM.

"I could care less."
good. then care less. oh wait, you mean, YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS??!!

Lose Loose Breath Breathe. 'Nuff said.

Not grammatical, but this still bothers me: !!!!!1

Realtor, not realitor.

this one just came to me in an email at work:

ON YESTERDAY.


i.e. "I called you on yesterday...."

ON??? really? ON YESTERDAY? Really!!??

Where does the ON come from?

 

[stilleto]

This is something that only I would have to deal with because i edit and proofread a lot, but people keep writing: PC's, PM's, etc.

It's PCs. PMs.
I know why they do it, but when I edit, I have to keep fixing it.

I've never heard that one. "On Monday" I've heard but no need for the ON

Why do they do it then?

 

[stilleto]

Why do they do it then?

because people think that if they type PCs, it looks like PCS.
I know they just don't know what to do, and PC's is easy.
