People who use "your" when they mean "you're". This isn't always people being lazy, either, it's just that lots of people don't even know they're wrong and it pisses me off. It makes me die inside to wonder if eventually, "your" will become acceptable because so many people use it the wrong way and don't even know it.

Example: "Your invited to an open house". Think I trust you to sell me a house if you can't even take the time to look over your emails and make sure they're not embarrassingly incorrect? Veto. "You are", people. "You're". "Your" is a possessive adjective. Geeze.:err:

I despise that too, kariwen. Everyone's making fun of it but they could of brushed up on their grammar instead. Their just jealous that their not as educated as us.

And that's precisely why Daayou needs to post more in this thread.

Posting on a message board..I let me grammar slip. Writing a proposal for work, or a formal letter, I do not. I do agree that anything published should have correct grammar, but I am not to worried about it here.

Plus, I tend to struggle with the English Language since Swahili is actually my first language.

I guess I'm terrible at making a joke >.>

Well, on topic, my sister had her alumni card from our HS lying around. at the bottom it says "Once a Swordsmen always a Swordsmen."

your right kariwen. and it doesn't end there. everytime someone talks about dieing, or how they got exhalted with a faction, or how such and such is rediculous, or LFG 70 Rouge (and it's the rogue himself who typed it out), or i'm Furry specced, etc, etc.

My pet peeve in the trade channel is when someone says "Please PST"

PST = "Please Send Tell" So therefore "Please PST" = Please Please Send Tell.... ugh. So many people think that PST = whisper and use it in that sense.

Psssst!

...but i'm well-groomed !

trade channel can be really funny at times - albeit inadvertantly:

LFG Septic Halls
LFG Zul'farrak. we have the mullet!
LFG Black Morris
LFG Shattered Halls. we killed the 2th boss, on our way to 3th.

That is by far my most common grammatical blunder. Every time I'm talking to Proc(John, whatever) -- and make the mistake he calls me a retard and mocks me.

I agree another one that gets totally trashed is they're, their, and there.

Heh the rouge thing is pretty awful. I remember an old guild I was in, and the officer that put the forum together had our forum labeled "Rouge". It was quite tragic...

Like Zekintha but less eloquent?

Rage and shitty typing, not a good mix.

2 minutes and 4:10 into the episode. It always cracks me up.
