"women" used as the singular, referring to one woman. I see this frequently, and don't know when that started, but it is really annoying.
oh there are so many and I make a few of them also, but the one word that makes me cringes is LOL it gets use for so many different things that I have no idea what it really stand for LOL, giggles LOL cringe
Oops, I use that myself on occasion. "Laugh Out Loud."
'Wrote' used in, "He wrote his wife." When you mean, "He wrote to his wife."
Oh hell I screw up always on the words: lose, loose ,and loss ...I can never keep them straight....Giggles
Behind every strong soldier there is even a stronger woman who raised him " Proud Army Mom" I butcher the English language daily which is why I really don’t have any pet peeves when it comes to how you use the words and how you spell them. “Text” talk does piss me off!
So if you’re thinking of starting up a conversation with me – don’t start it off as Hi how r u… You’ll be X’ed out immediately.
1. you - is both singular and plural, there is no such thing as "yous"
2. there, their, and they're - all have different meanings and are not interchangeable. When used incorrectly, the sentence loses meaning.
3. your and you're - same as number 2 above.

It's funny, but I just read something not too long ago where they did a national pole to find out what word people find most annoying...the winner??? "Whatever"...after I read that I started putting it in my story tags...I figure somebody's going to click on it out of curiousity...whatever...

I get annoyed when I overhear conversations with these phrases; whatever, loser or oops my bad Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr talk properly.
"You are" is contracted to "you're", not "your"
"It is" contracts to "it's". The possesive "its" never, ever has an apostrophe.
The French word "voila", meaning "there it is!" is spelled voila, not viola. A viola is a musical instrument, or a girl's name if you're reading Twelfth Night.
However one of my personal downfalls are the words that French and English share with slight variations in the spelling, because I cannot remember the differences in spelling between one language and the other. "Rince" or "rinse"?????
whenever someone uses "cum" instead of "come"... thinking its cute...... are you cumming over? cum here...
