Alot of people usually say "Mines" When in fact it should be Mine

I've never understood people who defend ignorance or just plain old laziness.

^ Agreed. I always get irked and see it left and right, but never rant about it.

Educate yourself.

Up until about a week ago, I thought 'segue' was spelled 'segway'

This, and I just correct them anyway. No dambs given on both sides.

Definitely.. I always feel like I'm spelling it wrong..

 

[pushak513]

the one that gets me the most is when people say "the whole entire thing" If it was the whole thing why put the entire on it..its either the whole thing or the entire thing but its not the whole entire

 

[gottabeem21]

some of you are confusing colloquialisms and grammar.  

 

[redman]

I love threads like this. It helps me improve my grammar. The funny thing about people using incorrect grammar is, most of the time they don't know their grammar is incorrect.

I don't think people are confusing the two, but just venting about the stupidity they're subjected to while reading other people's post.

 

[illadelallday]

I love it when people use 'them' instead of 'those'. This is WAY too common over in the jb forums.

PS: I don't really love it.

PSx2: I don't think I can use the 'spoiler' function from a cell phone.

This... but I gotta say that "conversate" irritates the @##% out of me.

 

[iluvjordanxi]

someone explain to me how to use: who's and whose and the right time to use "an"

 

[a55a5in11]

i love it when people come in here trying to act all smart but misspell words themselves

Who's will always and forever be "Who is." Whose is possessive, as in "Whose bike is this?"

"An" is used when the next written/spoken begins with a vowel.

  

 

[Sinner]

^ Yep, spot-on.

It also bugs me when I see people type in "title" format, capitalizing the first letter in every word of a sentence. Doesn't it take more effort to do so???

Not Sure If It's A Grammar "Issue", But It Still Bugs Me When I See It.
