  So annoyed!  I get so irritated with the atrocious spelling errors and general lack of punctuation as well.

  Loose vs lose   hmm--the only one I can think of at the moment but it makes me crazy.

  You know what really bugs me?  When people use common phrases and sayings incorrectly.  Example -- in a certain post earlier --  "case and point"....
  

  Other ones that bug me:

  Visa Versa -- its vice versa!!!

  For all intensive purposes -- for all intents and purposes, right?

   

  Anyone else really annoyed by this?
  

  OMG YES!!! However, I refuse to be the spelling and grammar police. I do it all day at work. On public message boards, I just quietly give the side eye.

  I believe it's case "in" point, but I know what you mean.

  Mute point

  Lose vs. loose

  On the 0-3 board the one that really bugs is "The baby was seriously jaundice". Not that they HAD jaundice or WERE jaundiced, but the baby was jaundice. Over and over, not a typo, of course.

  People often say "laxadaisically" when it's "lackadaisically."

  Every single time I hear "moot point" I always think if this line from Friends:

  Joey: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo.

  I also hate the phrase, "It is what it is."

  Really, it is?

  I see these two a lot:  advise vs. advice; affect vs. effect.

  But, I frequently have dumb typos so I can't really judge.

  For those who are into sports, one of my LEAST FAVORITE cliches of all time is when someone will say:

  "If he wins this game he will be up there with the Peyton Mannings and the Brett Favres and the Ben Roethlisbergers." 

  THERE IS ONLY ONE PEYTON MANNING AND ONE BRETT FAVRE AND ONE BEN ROETHLISBERGER! Just say he will be LIKE them!

  I am such a proper grammar and speech snob.  I correct DH all the time, poor guy.

  What annoys me most is misuse of apostrophes.  They are NOT meant to make nouns plural.  OPK's - incorrect.  OPKs - correct.
