    Talk about rules, grammar, or anything in the english language that just irritates and annoys you.

    well when people pronounce "wash" as, "warsh" it makes me want to stranggle them for one thing, and alot of times NET SPEAK is definately irritating, I mean, why would you need to shorten the word "you"? what are you so impatience that you can't take half a second to press a key? Are you not smart enough to know how to spell it?Another thing is that when stores have stuff in stock there are signs that say "We carry this [Item]" since it's not the actual building of the store that carries anything it bugs me, the sign sould say "We have this [Item] in stock" well, those are mine. Oh, and one bad habit I have is over using comma's but it's a hard one to break..

    I just hate the word

    LIKE

    When you realize people are using it to much and then pay attention to how much they do it annoys the shit out of you.

    I don't really mind as long as I can understand people well enough, to be honest.

    Although, I do have a couple of friends who use more impressive words when there's no need, and when they don't seem to know what said words mean.

    When people say 'Anyways' when it's actually 'Anyway'.
