CORRECTLY

My pet peeve is when people use improper punctuation, but notice I am not bringing it to your attention.

It's one thing if it's a difficult word, but short, simple words should be spelled correctly. Especially if you're emailing someone that catches your eye.

A Preposition is a word used to express some relation of different things or thoughts from each other. Although overlooked in common speech, prepositional phrases should not be placed at the end of a question: as,

"Who do I give this to?" This is incorrect; the preposition is at the end of the question. When corrected, the sentence is: "To whom do I give this?" Prepositional phrases can be placed at the end of a sentence, however. See the following example:

"She did not sign up for tennis".

Prepositions are generally placed before a noun or a pronoun: as,

"The paper lies before me on the desk."

Commonly used English prepositions include:

about
above
across
after
against
along
amid(st)
among(st)
around
at
before
behind
below
beneath
beside(s)
between
beyond
by
during
except
for
from
in
into
of
off
on
over
past
through
to
toward(s)
under(neath)
until
with(out)

guess we're all not perfect are we?????

Ok, but I would rather have broken grammar structure instead of words I have to ask my 10 year old to help me understand.

I'd rather have proper english and poor spelling as long as I (the audience) can understand the speaker.

As a teacher misspelling drives me crazy. But then it also points out potential scammers. Their spelling and grammer gives them away.

But then one could use Firefox. It catches misspelling.
