<p>What bothers you when other people speak? You can post anything that you've heard others say that just gets under your skin. </p>
<p>For me, I hate when people try to sound smart by saying "so-and-so and I" but they don't really know how to use it correctly. For example, I've heard people say on our morning announcements in school: "If you have your money, please give it to Kate or I." They don't even realize that you have to use "I" in nominative case and "me" in objective case. They learn that I is correct and they try to use it all the time!</p>
<p>Another one is using "is" twice in a row. I hear this all the time, especially in adults. For example: "The problem is, is that you don't like her."</p>
<p>This one is not as aggravating as the others, but I do notice it quite often: "I could care less." I've been known to ask the person who says that, "so you do care?" It should be "I couldn't care less." This just bothers me because people don't even think about what they're saying. They just keep using the same bad grammar that they're used to hearing without giving it a second thought. </p>
<p>So what are your main grammatical pet peeves?</p>
<p>It doesn’t bother me, because when I’m talking to someone my job isn’t to be a jerk and point out every little mistake they make. I think that people need to keep their comments to themselves. Sure, my friends make little mistakes like that, but it’s gets very annoying for someone to correct every little thing. I had a friend who was very smart and we had a lot in common, but he would correct me all the time and say really messed up things. He would do it in class too which was totally embarrassing. Now we don’t talk much except for exchanging smiles or saying, “hi” to each other.</p>
<p>I think you guys are misunderstanding me. Of course everyone makes mistakes, and I would never point any of these things out to ANYONE. What I mean is that these things get to me when I hear them, and they don’t make me “hate” the person or anything like that.</p>
