What is your biggest peeve when it comes to mistakes in the spelling and grammar of forum posts? The thing that I just dislike seeing (I have no idea why it just annoys me for some reason) is when I is not capitalized properly. What about you guys?

Well, for one, it's "Nazis". Apostrophes are for possessives, not plural subjects.

I assume the thread title was intentional, then? *glare*

The misuse of apostrophes is one of mine. It's actually painful.

Not using the right form of your/you're and there/their/they're.

Everything else doesn't bother me that much

I was going to say this. Considering the topic, the thread name is meant as a joke, right?

What I find most annoying is the misuse of 'your' and 'you're', they really aren't that difficult to get a grasp on in my opinion.

I'm pretty much in the same boat.

The misuse of these words is immensly irritating, mostly because it isn't really that hard to figure out what the differences are!

... Yes. Spelling "spelling" wrong should be a dead give away.

What part of the previous statement made your brain explode? R? 1337? The blatant disregard for grammar?

I could have made it worse, but I don't think I could survive the self-loathing.

Actually the gramma in those words are some of the most diffucult for non english speaking people. I know, cause they make me choke every time i use them.

Im amazed people don´t realise many people in here are from non english countries, but it would be a thing to keep in mind next time you see some garbage english lying around the internetz.

The thread should have been titled "For all the Grammar Nazis out their".

The worst are - there/their/they're, where/were or your/you're, it's not that hard but people aren't smart enough to use them correctly.

Leet speak or £337 $p33|{ pisses me off no end also.
