Now, not all of us are grammar nazis, but we all have our moments when one moron seems to abuse the English language so hard through one small but consistent mistake.
I'd have to say the ones that make me see red are "your" in the place of "you're" and "to" in the place of "too".

I get irritated when people don't use "good" and "well" correctly.

I am aware that I make typos rather often, but there are some that really bother me. "To" and "too" is one of them, but I can't stand the "your" and "you're" thing that some people do. How come they can't get it right?! Same as "their", "they're" and "there".

"intensive purposes"
If your going to say something you heard somewhere else you should actually think about what it is first.

Haha, "intensive purposes" sounds like some urgent quest or something.

"I seen him at the store"
It's either "I saw him at the store" or "I have seen him at the store"
It's sooo annoying!! It's like saying "I gone over there"
The only time it's acceptable (and funny!) is in Half-Baked. "Marijuana's not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke." " I SEEN HIM!!"

I swear, I'm going to rip the head off the next person who asks a teacher: "I can use the bathroom?"
Yes, it's nice to know that you are toilet trained. Now, please ask a question for the teacher.

"U" Especially when used in an angry sense. Nothing make sme rage/lol more than scrolling down my facebook page and seeing one of my "friends" (namely people I don't give a fuck about but don't feel like pissing off) type something like this: " lek omg u sch a hor lek i can't evwn tlk to u" . Or, even better: " I hate u so much. u ruined everything." That last one pisses me off the most, because, come on? You could spell every other word right, except "you"?

I don't like sentences that deal with semicolons so I rewrite everything into their own sentences.

"I'd rather do this then that, I like this more then that" are both comparative sentences, thus should use the word "than".
Lol grammar.

You're/your there/their/they're mistakes used to really bother me, but I saw them so often they stopped bothering me.

I try not to, but now and then I seem to accidentally fuck up my words without even knowing until after I post whatever it was I was trying to post. It's a horrible habit.

We all do this from time to time. It's best just to proofread before we post.

This is not the same, because people who use "u" instead of "you" do it on purpose. It's not a grammatical error, it's pure stupidity. That's worse as they are being stupid on purpose, I hate that >:(

When I was on lamictal, it fucked up my ability to spell and really messed with my language haha. But being on the internet so much and seeing so many mistakes messes me up too. After seeing it so much, I sometimes make the very mistakes I used to detest! It's horrible because I know which way is the correct way, but sometimes I initially just type the incorrect word or phrase. It's frustrating actually. Hearing things incorrectly was bad enough, but didn't give me problems. Seeing it too is just too much!!! ARRGGGHH RAGE lol

My retard 12 year old cousin literally doesn't spell one word correctly and honestly don't know if it's on purpose anymore or if she's just fuckin' dumb, but anyways, she says"2" instead of "to or too," "wut or wat" instead of "what," puts a z at the end of any word that ends in an s and a bunch of other I can't remember. Pretty much any word except for "I" or "a" she'll probably spell wrong.

When people say "times" instead of multiply. And "minus" instead of subtract.
Or when people say "Heighth" you know height with an extra h at the end

I was tempted to say "all of them." However, the above is one that drives me nuts.
However, I'm really bothered when I see a typo in a professional work, like Time Fcuk. It takes away from the experience for me.

"Me and Steve went to the store."
Someone told me that people who do this are subconsciously making themselves seem more important; essentially putting themselves before everyone else.

Double negatives anger me; my parents use them all the time in speech. Luckily, I didn't pick up the habit.
