OK, end of grammar lesson. Stepping down off my soap-box now.  |
I'll join you on this one. I know people write the way they hear it, but writing "should of" "would of" etc simply makes you look like an uneducated buffoon. And I know people who write that on the internet and I *know* they're not stupid. Drives me nuts.
Oh, and drivers on the road that decided to race you, because they don't want to ever ever let you pass them no matter what. And drivers that cut you off or decided to honk at you at a light while you're waiting for oncoming traffic to finish when you're turning left. (had that happen to me this morning)
Yeah. People bug me, but not so much that I hate them. Only some of them.
