YEs. It's so damn simple I don't know how you can screw it up.
Their friend said, "They're going to the park, over there!"
Holy shit I almost had to divide by zero to get that to come out right... *facepalm*

I find most grammar problems on the internet annoying, but I try not to point them out to people, because they are so common.
And besides, no one knows how to use a motherfunking semi-colon.

Fact. I have no idea how; it just irks me to no end!MelasZepheos said:
Maybe it's actually just people who are just too lazy to hold down shift to get the ":"
Yep. This and the you're/your things REALLY seriously annoy me. Come on, folks, learn your native language. Stop being lazy. If a person is making a serious argument in a post and uses bad grammar, I have a hard time taking them seriously. My first thought is, "They're either too lazy to study or they're uneducated enough to not know their subject." I have to remind myself that it may not be the case.
It can be annoying, but when they forget to use the upper case I it actually makes me furious. I don't know why, I just cannot stand it.
It does annoy me sometimes, although I tend to ignore it.
I always do mind my spelling and grammar when I'm writing something, anything in any language. It's just common courtesy to treat your answers properly. At least, I think it is.

I'm pretty lax about how people write (after all, I don't always get it right myself), but the "Their/There/They're" anomaly is very vexing. It's one of the few spelling/grammar mistakes that bother me to end.
It only annoys me because sometimes it's hard to understand what there saying

That should be f' it, you're removing the "uck", which is what the apostrophe signals.Sev said:
Just to annoy you
And yes, it does irritate me. The other thing that irritates me is this phenomenon of people writing things like "boi" and "2niittee". I get the whole "I'm abbreviating" thing, but when there's the same amount of letters what's the point?
Oh, and the "dis innt school" excuse is wearing real thin too...
