A few of us got to nit-picking each others grammar today - a pastime I enjoy immensely!
I was wondering if anyone else had any grammatical or spelling pet peeves?
My number one pet peeve is even reptile related! I :evil:HATE:evil: the common but incorrect usage of the word SLITHER. As in, people who say, "Yes, please, I'd love some cake. But, I'm watching my weight, so I'll just have a slither."
Last time I checked, snakes SLITHER, and cakes SLIVER!!!! It drives me nuts :lol: Listen out for how many people confuse these two words.
Any others? (Or am I the only grammatically-anal person on this forum? )
