- I, love how, some people on Reddit, use commas.
— vanillagorilla3 - It always surprised me when I come across adults who still don't understand the difference between there, their, and they're. Especially professionals working in an office sending emails every day.
— OneFreamon - Not a grammatical rule, but people mixing up "lose" and "loose" drives me insane.
— DenisOHare - You know how people always correct you when you say things like "me and Phil went to party" with "no no...'phil and I went to the party'"
Sometimes it's "Me" and people don't get that anymore. i.e. "He stood between Phil and me"
— poo-boys-united - Apostrophes. I see way to much apostrophe terrorism on reddit.
Example:
Apostrophe's
Example's
— Hydro_21 - "The reason is because..." It should be, "The reason is that..."
And here's a very annoying new one, "The reason is is..." There is absolutely no way the is should be repeated except that people have gotten into a sloppy speech pattern.
— Burgundy93 - Things are hung, people are hanged.
— Our_lord_Doge - less/fewer. You have less of something that you can't count, like water or courage. You have fewer people or cars.
— Octopuswiggles - a/an - especially with abbreviated words.
