FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IT IS NOT "WOULD OF" OR "SHOULD OF"! IT'S "WOULD HAVE" AND "SHOULD HAVE"!

What's with these cutoff shirts people have to wear at the gym where they cut the sleeves off, but tear the shirt all the way down that it's only connected by a few threads at the side of the hips. I mean I wear sleeveless shirts to exercise in sometimes too, I just don't get why these guys need to rip the entire shirt down so everything basically is exposed besides your torso and like spine of your back

Yes! Add 'more then' or 'less then' to that list.

I saw this in a post last night "for all intensive purposes". Right up there with pre-madonna and A. Blinkin

This + some others. Even though English is not my mother language (Portuguese, I'm from Brazil and yes it's Portuguese the language we speak, not "Brazilian") it still bothers me tremendously when I see native English speakers who cannot get their "there, they're, their" correct.

Also it's not looser when you are talking about a person with an L on their forehead, it's loser!!! Maybe these people have something loose in their heads?

There are many others I'm sure, but I can't remember all of them right now, I consider this irrational since I'm not a native English speaker, yet it bothers me to no end.

I did laugh when I saw a sleeveless T-shirt for sale at the mall that said "I flexed and the sleeves fell off".

Ear buds that fall out. Has been mentioned before, but someone needs to fix dis. Solution #1 of expanding my earhole-yes-i-said-earhole by 1 cm has failed.

Put your earbuds in then wrap the wires over the top of your ears. You're welcome.

As a writer, I always used ellipses as someone trailing off in thought. "I remember my first kiss..."

In emails, I always think they seem passive aggressive. "If you say so..."
