Very nice but I do wish it had a bit more sparkle. The sequence is muted. Overall very happy with it. My daughter loves it.

[amandakisser]

Go acrossed the street.

my MIL says Valentime's Day. Nooooooo!

Lots of my pet peeves are actually when people write things out and misspell them: "gage your opinion," and "peak your interest" are two I received recently...

[atlas]

If people use me and I incorrectly I get all ..... grrrrrr.

[pegasuskat]

A lot of people in my area say MAC Donald's and WalMark - drives me crazy.

Hisself and theirself will always be my hill to die on

and could care less 

and misuse of literally. No, you did NOT literally stop breathing. Go sit down.

[mellimel19]

I seen. As in, "I seen Billy walking down the street the other day."
Also, my in laws pronounce toilet as "terlet."

I cringe every time I hear both.

Walmart's, Target's, Kroger's

[open24hours]

I had a co worker who used inregards all the time. I twitched every time I read it an email.

[fuckyourcouch]

People who say "relator" instead of realtor

Supposively

My MIL constantly calls herself a grammar Nazi but can't even place I and me in a sentence properly. Example: "Me and Susie went to the store." NO NO NO NO NO. "Susie and I went to the store."

I know that I'm not perfect, and I have a habit of ending sentences with prepositions, but I also don't go around telling people that my grammar is perfect or that I'm a grammar Nazi.

Could care less.

Mommy when used by anyone other than a child.

"Seen" like that drives me crazy. I cannot stand it!

I had someone mispronounce "ornery" in front of me and I could not understand what she was saying. I don't think less of her (apparently it is a common mispronunciation?) but I feel bad that I just could not grasp what she was trying to say. She said "Awn-ry" instead of "Or-ne-ry." The worst was when I said "Do you mean ornery" she said "What?" We just could not communicate that way lol. (She is from Montana, I grew up in New England).

Also both of my grandmothers pronounced Washington wrong. Wooshington and Worshington.

YES.  Hearing grown women refer to themselves and/or their friends as "mommies" drives me crazy.

[Serenity9]

I read an employee review of a company that said all the managers are "uncompetent loosers."

My exH pronounced nuclear as nuc-u-lar.

Don't worry too much about ending sentences with prepositions. I never liked that rule, and then I read something in the Chicago Manual of Style that made me feel better about myself:

"The traditional caveat of yesteryear against ending sentences with prepositions is, for most writers, an unnecessary and pedantic restriction. As Winston Churchill famously said, 'That is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I shall not put.' ... The 'rule' prohibiting terminal prepositions was an ill-founded superstition."

I work with a Manager that always says pacifically instead of specifically.

Ax instead of ask

Scrimps instead of shrimp

And the use of apostrophes to make words plural gets my blood boiling every time.

I love saying scrimps.
No ragrets

[prettyinpearls]

These all make me twitch, but "I seen" is the worst offender for me.

[prettyinpearls]

Or, saying "alls" instead of "all".

"Alls you gotta do is fold it like this."
