Irregardless of who did it, using bad grammar ain't writing English good.

Worse, imagine if it got into the education system.

Again that's spelling, not grammar, though it is a pretty good example of how bad it could get.

It makes me grind my teeth when people don't know what an apostrophe is for, writing things like torpedo's instead of torpedoes.

It doesn't bother me a bit. I don't need friends who don't care how they look, don't care how they smell and don't care how they write.

My peeve I like to pet is when people do not understand the difference between coincidence, irony, and hypocrisy. They are not interchangeable!:/\\!!

I've got some friends...but not a whole lot. You don't need a whole lot...but it must be nice to not be ignored.

Oh well. :03:

I am in the process of conducting mutiny against the government.

The DIA released a writing guidance which promulgated that ALL possessives will end in -- 's.

Torpedo
Torpedo's
Torpedoes
Torpedoes's

You don't need a button to ignore someone. I ignore some people, but I don't have them on my ignore list.

Do you want to ignore me? I can make that happen.
