I get really pi**t off when people say/write.'I should of', instead of, ' I should have,' & also, 'definately', instead of, ; definitely,'.
 Then again, it's mostly English people, who are having trouble speaking their own language!!
Raise the bloody barricades, Gordy, here comes the flak!!

Go on yersel Gordy :).

My pet hate. People who don't even bother to try and use punctuation and/or use a "i" instead of "I".

People who "brought" an apartment

"Chalish" and "Chalis"

People who like to be "far from the maddening crowd"

I visited a pub last night that had a very nicely produced colour poster, complete with photograph, that advertized "Pie's".

Scunner, who inclines to the French form of -ize (i.e. the repugnant -ise) will probably object to my classical Oxford spelling.
