Irregardless...
It's a double negative number one, and people use it to just mean regardless. It's a retarded word that should be stricken from the minds of everyone.

Their, there and they're used incorrectly.
When people don't use a possessive on time. For example, missing the apostrophe on "Two weeks' notice"

Not knowing the difference between "Boys' Shoes" and "Boy's Shoes" and not realizing that the 2nd one is a singular possessive and not a contraction of "Boy is"

American spellings of colour, centre, theatre and so on...

People don't care about punctuation anymore. Rememebr capitalization is the diference between:

"I helped my uncle Jack off his horse"
and
"I helped my uncle jack off his horse"

Damn! What a grammar-Nazi. No wonder those Chinese threw you in jail!

Just kidding. Those things bug me, too. But it REALLY bugs me when people don't know the difference between to and too.

Although, that is a little off-topic, which is another pet peeve of mine.

It's still overused and horrific...

Also, people that use u instead of you, r instead of are and so on. Nothing makes me rage more than a txt that says

"Wat r u doin 2nite?"

lol, try grading 6th grade language arts! some of them are quite funny in ways I wouldn't tell the students, such as the jack off his horse example and worse. I think I've developed quite a sick sense of humor out of the whole thing

And yet....

You had a typo in Remember in your first post in this thread...and then you spell 'text ' as ' txt ' at the same time you are complaining about grammatical errors and text speak.

If you are gonna be a grammar/spelling Nazi....you may want to make sure your own errors are taken care of first.

I was working as a teacher in China for about 2 years. They have better punctuation than everyone else but make some of the funniest mistakes. I was talking to my friend the other day and she said...

(1:46:02 AM) Tracy: my students will come over me

Meaning her students will come and see her when she's on holiday.

Also they pronounce peanuts as penis, eyes as *** and can't as a certain 4 letter word beginning with c. It's hilarious. I ocne asked the question "What is a salty food?", one of the ladies in my class throws her hand up and says "Penis!" Technically correct but not the answer I was looking for :P

txt as used in text message not a body of text. I see them as different. Some shorthand works well. I've got no qualms with "msg", "txt" and things like "sup?" but a lot of it is just pure laziness.

I've had girls complain about that a time or two.

Words or phrases are not what matters it is who says it, to who and for what reason.

"Love you" is used to death and way to often are just words but when they are said by the right person for the right person then those words will never be said enough.
