The “BRGRDS” thing drives me absolutely batty. Same with “TKS”. (yes, I can see you are very thankful, since you couldn’t be bothered to type out the looooong word “thanks”). A to the men, sister.

Thank you. You’re the best, so best regards,

This is spelling, not grammar, but I just saw it on a widely-read website: it peaked our curiosity.

Um, no. It piqued it.

Little things like using “whenever” instead of “when”. Irregardless!! Using “less” when it should be “fewer”. I had a really obnoxious English teacher in junior high – she made me the grammar bitch I am today!

Its a pet peeve with me and your right to bring it to are attention.(Noticed that last little error on a sign yesterday on tv–Are Hero, Brett Favre) But it probably was on accident.

Thanks for acknowledging our grief. From the coverage yesterday you would have thought the Pope and the President had both died.
