I just got an e-mail boasting "Complimentary Hourderves"

That doesn't make me rage, though. It makes me lol.

Quote :
"I always thought that people who write "an historic" say "an istoric""

It's all based on pronunciation. If you're a weird British guy who says "Istoric," then you're correct in using "an."
"An hour" is correct.
"An herb" (a spice or plant or whatever, not a basketball coach) is correct.
"A Herb" (a basketball coach, not a spice or plant or whatever) is correct.


Good one from a different message board. Took me a few tries to figure out what he meant:

"I've been seeing this stuartist that lives in Peru for the past year or so"

Do you know what the difference is other than the how it is pronounced?

^^ What's worse is I see grown men on FB and such posting "ya" for "yeah." Every day. What is so difficult about "yeah"?

Also, my coworker says "supposably" EVERY SINGLE DAY, yet constantly tells me I don't deserve the salary I earn.

People who spell out "lightening" when they mean the giant bolts of electricity that arc across the sky.

Lightning = the thunderstorm thing
Lightening = present participle of "to lighten"

My girlfriend starts to twitch and foam at the mouth every time anybody uses a modifier before the word "unique," as in "very unique" or "kinda unique," and this has started to rub off on me as well.

I don't know if it's grammar, per se, but when people refer to Africa as a country I want to shit dysentery down their throats.

a lot of my asian students write "advices"

i get that they mean "pieces of advice", but it gets annoying to have to correct them all the time.
