Re: Friday Fun: What Pet Peeve makes you puke?

[arroxaneullman -at- aol -dot- com]

 I have many linguistic pet peeves. I've already acknowledged that I've 
an evil grammarian living in my head (who even corrects my netspeak, 
unasked). But, I have to say what really gets me going is flagrant 
misspellings and misuses.

Many of my friends and peers are very bright and have interesting 
vocabularies, but pay not attention to how they use words. If you're 
going to use a word make sure a) you know how to spell it and b) you 
know what it really means and when it's appropriate to use. If you do 
not know how to spell or apply a word, either don't use the word, or 
look it up.

Technosavvy people have no excuse for not taking five seconds to use 
Google's "define:" command. And there are literally thousands of 
spelling websites.

Time to go feed the peeves.
