Most grammatical errors don't bother me, but...

Yeah, that's annoying. The one that bugs me most is "I could care less", its couldn't!

Gaaah!!! This one's supposably easy to remember but there it is again in this thread.

Speaking of vernacular, I have a friend that is originally from Newfoundland. When we first started talking (in an online game), she would ask, "where ya to?"

Huh? Where ya to? WTF does that mean?

I just thought it was... weird... until I spoke with a few of her other friends from Newfoundland who said the exact same phrase. It took a while to explain to them that at least where I'm from (and presumably most of the rest of the English-speaking populace), what they were saying made no sense. "Where ya at?" is what everyone else would ask, or, properly, "where are you?"

Don't get me wrong, I try not to insult anyone's culture or customs, but sometimes it just goes a little too far from the norm. I'm sure we have some sayings here in New England that piss people off.

hahaha, woops. Here I am complaining about grammar and I screw up in the same sentence. I'm not sure why, but its/it's have always been difficult for me to keep straight.

We don't pay you to grammar check, we pay you to shut up and fix it
