It's "c'mon" not "common"

ARGGHHHHH!

I couldn't care less - note the bold word is the correct word
"refer back" - how fucking redundant is this phrase?

What common grammatical errors make your eyes go crosswise?
 
This one really shits me, and is so fucking frequent. It's fucking develop, NOT DEVELOPE YOU RETARDS.
 
The absolute worst is "lose", not "loose". We're not talking about your fucking vagina you ignorant 12-year old bnet retard.

And with good reason too. She shaves my ass regularly, then massages it with a blend of aromatic essential oils. Then i wake up, and my PSP is in my hand with Lumines at the game over screen. Yeah, i don't know what it means either. :/
 
While there plenty of common errors that bug me, one that I've really been noticing a lot of lately is the extra apostrophe. It's like people don't want to be bothered learning the correct usage of it so they just throw it in before the "s" in every plural noun.

"could of" instead of "could have"

Damn. Beaten to it.

"Could of", "should of", and "would of".

I don't know how anyone can type these phrases and not immediately have a stroke brought upon by their stupidity.
 
I agree with the original poster. It's a c'mon mistake. Sometimes I feel like I'm posting with a bunch of lowly c'moners.
 
Apostrophe s on plurals.

Anyone who writes "The Simpson's" should be fired into the sun.

IT'S "ITS", "ITS"!!!!!!!11111
I always get those two confused, so I just use "it's" at all times =)
 
I'm aware of the two meanings, but I just reverse them in my mind constantly because I want them both to have an ' so I tend to just give up on even trying.
 
haha, I had a highschool english teacher that would fail papers based slowly on comma splices
 
Here's one I bet near all people in this thread make: alright.

It's "all right", as "alright" is not a word.
 
Irregardless.

People insist on using this word and I don't get it. Regardless is of course without regard, so what's irregardless mean?

Good one. When someone says that I want to slap the stupidity out their mouth.
 
We were always taught in school that "alright" is an accepted (although sometimes frowned upon) form of "all right".

Yup. I have to admit that I tend to use it a lot.

alright

adj : nonstandard usage adv 1: used to reinforces an assertion; "it's expensive all right" [syn: all right, without doubt] 2: sentence-initial expression of agreement [syn: very well, fine, all right, OK] 3: in a satisfactory or adequate manner; "she'll do okay on her own"; "held up all right under pressure"; (`alright' is a nonstandard variant of `all right') [syn: okay, O.K., all right]
 
I'm annoyed whenever I read abbreviations/shortenings that don't include the key part of the original word. For example:

Morph -- short for metamorphosis. Meta = change, Morph = form.

Wi-fi -- short for wireless fidelity. Wi is the first two letters of wire, the opposite of the actual product.
 
Possessive pronouns do not use any apostrophes, such as "his" "her or "theirs". That is why it's "its" instead of "it's".

Also, everyday people keep using "good" instead of "well". "Oh, I did good on that test." IT'S FUCKING WELL! NOT GOOD!

Means the same thing. It's informal but accepted in english.
