Pet Peeves

So, pet peeves, everyone has them, how about we share some!  My main pet peeves are with horrible grammar or using words that are not even words.  I’ll give some examples and then everyone can share some of theirs!!!

• Your and You’re are different…if it belongs to you, it’s your, if you are saying “you are” then you use “you’re”
• Irregardless…this is NOT a word, the word you are trying to say is “Regardless”, there is no “ir” in the word
• Libary…there are 2 r’s in there for a reason, it is “LibRary”, you do need to pronounce that first R, it is not silent
• Exspecially…there is no X in especially, you do not say “ex” you say “es” pecially
• Same goes for espresso, no x people!
• When one goes to orientation, they get oriented, not orientated
• (last one, promise)…For the love of Pete, please realize that there are 3 ways of saying there: There is when something is “over there” or “there is no reason to be so stupid”, They’re is when you are saying “they are” and Their is when something belongs to someone

Ok, I did not mean for this to turn into a George Costanza-style rant, but these things just annoy the poopy out of me!  Please, share your pet peeves!!!
