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

[stilleto]

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.

god, i hate all of you.

If my friend's saw this one, they would laugh their asses off, cause' anytime I hear some say "going to Prom" (on TV, or at a party), I always lose my MIND!


Great rant 'Lleto

 

[mrplunkey]

If "I'm going to work" and "I'm going to school" and "I'm going to dinner" are grammatically correct, why wouldn't "I'm going to prom" be as well?

Brits say "going to hospital" or "in hospital" instead of "going to the hospital" or "in the hospital".

But then they also say "maths" instead of "math".



My latest pet peeve is people who write "dominate" as an adjective, instead of "dominant". Or "prejudice" instead of "prejudiced".

BECAUSE IT'S NOT!
i don't know. you go to bed, you go to THE prom.
It's a formal dance. not a something else.
