First let me say that I love your grammar/spelling badge.  I sometimes sit and watch it, and giggle. 

Next, I was wondering if you would considering adding a couple. 

The correct spelling of positive.  I have frequently seen it spelled "possative" or "possitive."  Maybe something witty like, "I am positive that positive is spelled with one S."

And, the correct spelling of tonight.  "Tonite" is not another spelling for "tonight."  It is an explosive compound.  

If you are not taking submissions, I understand.  I just thought I would throw them out there for your consideration!

Lmao @ explosive compound! Unfortunately I can't take credit for making it. And there's no way of adding anything in. I'll have to scour the Internet for an even better one

Bummer!  I figured I had to give it a shot!  Yes, when I see someone use "tonite" in the place of "tonight," I picture a little explosion.  Similar to the Alot, but it doesn't work quite the same way.

When people spell "Interesting" as "Inneresting" and "Congratulations" as "Congradulations" I cringe.

 I also cannot stand "awe" instead of "aw" or "balling my eyes out" instead of "bawling my eyes out."

I just wish more people read books... that's how you learn how to spell words properly and avoid mixing up homophones.

I am not going to lie, I say "tonite" instead of "tonight" when typing all of the time.  It's not that I do not know the difference, it just all came from texting.  And "tonite" isn't even really all that shorter.  Who knows. 

Noted.

I hate when people cannot use apostrophes correctly.  That whole "if it ends with an 's', it doesn't get apostrophe-s" is such crap, I don't know why anyone would ever use that as a little reminder.

Balling one's eyes out actually sounds very disturbing!  You are so right on the "I wish more people read books."

My biggest pet peeve:

Using the apostrophe when making something plural, especially in business names! (ie: Dalton's Doughnut's.. I want to go in and ask, "Dalton's doughnut's what?")

I just flinched in my desk chair when I read this.  But, yes.  Yes, exactly.

Oh. My. God. Someone in my family always congratulates people on facebook by saying 'Congrads!'  It hurts my soul every single time. I love the saying "If you got a 'D' you wouldn't get 'Congrats!'"

One of my top spelling (and pronunciation) pet peeves is ValentiMe's Day. I'm irritated just THINKING about it.

For the love of all things holy and for the sake of all humanity you must correct this. You must correct this IMMEDIATELY. It is your duty as a teacher and a human being. Do not allow these children to grow up in a world where ValentiMMMe's Day is not only tolerated, but possibly even accepted as an alternative to ValentiNNNe's Day.

Oh believe me, we practice saying it, most of them eventually grow out of it!  They also say busketti (spaghetti) and strawberry steak (salisbury steak) and many others I can't even think of.  

My personal favorite I had a student talking about a talking about a 'we-mote' (can't say his 'r's which is typical in KG.)  Well he meant Wii remote but just merged Wii and remote to 'wii-mote' because he thought it was the same word

I CAN NOT stand when people say "libary"! Maybe it's just something people say down in the south, but it drives me crazy!!!
