Annoys me too. Admittedly slightly less common than "would have" etc, but nonetheless just as irritating.

Grammar Nazi threads should be banned, it's nothing but spam and a re-post...

TBH there just annoying. Some of us are just illiterate get over it.

The confusion of then and than seems more prevalent in the US rather than over here.
I've noticed it on American forums quite a bit, but not really on any UK ones.

Walah (or something else equally as lame) instead of Voila annoys me.

Also, for all intensive purposes and mute point really wind me up.

The noun "setup" used as a verb makes me :mad:

What has happened to Zefan? He's been mega trolling recently. I reckon he has just broken up with his gf so he's unleashing the rage and hate in the form of trolling on the forums.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has noticed this tbh, something definitely isn't quite right, it's almost as if someone has hi-jacked his acc or something, he has been acting out of character without a doubt, Zefan probably knows himself that I'm not his greatest fan but at the same time I hold no ill toward the fellow, if something is up air out your problems dude, maybe we can help.

There is no excuse for poor grammar unless you actually have some form of illness/disability.

Stupidity and ignorance are not excuses.

The odd mistake is understandable on anyone's part, but constant mis-use of the english language is pretty much blasphemy..

People not understand the difference between 'to', 'too' and 'two' annoy me the most. Either than or your and you're.

Thanks for pointing this out, it annoyed me but I couldn't be bothered to start a thread about it

What has brought this on?

It's bought!

Anyone who rates taking 30 seconds to learn something as better than repeatedly appearing stupid?

Not sure if that's sarcasm or not :confused:

But if it isn't, it is actually brought

"What brought that on?"

"What bought that on?" (Equivalent of saying "What purchased that on?")
