Not that it drives me nuts or anything, but I always spell check (as in those pieces of paper tied to your ban account) c-h-e-q-u-e. I find it weird when people do not spell it that way.
'Per say' is a misspelling that bothers me a little, but it's not too bad.
The mispronunciation of 'Antarctica' as 'Anardica' really gets to me, though. So many letters left out or changed.
Loose is the opposite tight.
Lose is the opposite of gain.
Get it straight.
That's my biggest complaint aside from the regulars (to, too, two, etc.).
Oh, I forgot the word draw. It's not drawl! The L sound at the end makes people sound like they're 4 years old. :D
when people around here pronounce toronto without the second T...so it sounds like TORONNO
One day I sat down and learnt the difference between your and you're. It took me 30 seconds and now I always get it right if I have the energy.

It's a heart condition. Whenever I see the word leet 1 4m 4sd 2 5p33k liek d1s.
I'm a grammar nazi and a human dictionary/thesaurus. Pretty much EVERYTHING gets on my nerves.
So then why wasn't the first part of your post in leet speak? This is not a very good heart condition, Quinny. You are bad at this.
