There's alot about facebook that annoys me. Not real sure why I even still get on there.

I don't really have anything annoying me about Facebook. But, I've got a couple of other things I could really rant about. :lol: Kind of disappointed this thread turned out to be only about Facebook. :cry:

Facebook needs an "Ignore all baby and wedding related posts" button.

I really get annoyed when people say "conversate" instead of "converse".

Could of, should of, would of.

 

Nothing in the world of grammar annoys me more than that.

One that gets me:

 

When saying the Lord's Prayer people say "thy will be done" as if "will" is a helping verb instead of a noun.

I really get annoyed when people say "conversate" instead of "converse".

 

That's weird, I remember reading a cousin's status about the same thing no more than a few days ago.

Your, you're, there, they're and their drive me nuts. It amazes me the amount of people who screw that up.

 

Dominate and dominant are two more.

 

Worse and worst.

 

Loss and lose.

 

 

Those foul ups deeply deeply deeply disturb me.

People in cars annoy me. I hate everyone on the road. Everyone. No one can drive like I can. No one. If I were king no one would be allowed to drive on any road when I am driving.

My Facebook feed is full of bad grammar today. A niece that I love dearly uses the following quite frequently: sum, 2, ppl,

 

[h=6]"Tired tired tired. No good staying up til 5am. & 2morrow I gotta be up early again :/ well time 2 eat sum lunch then go run sum errands & pay sum bills."[/h]

Hope she has ENUFF to pay the sum of sum of her bills.

:lol: And what really is annoying is that in most cases, the actual number of extra keystrokes to actually spell the word correctly is 1. :lol:

You know, if it had been up to Teddy Roosevelt, our language would look much different than it does now. He supported the Simplified Spelling Board's proposal to simplify over 300 commonly used words. He used those new words in most of his writings and instructed the Government Printing Office to use them. Congress had to step in and stop the movement. Yet, words from the movement still survive today. Plow, color, meter, and encyclopedia are proper spellings in American English over the original plough, colour, metre, and encyclopaedia. Not so prior to 1906. Changes of although, kissed, mixed, and possessed to altho, kist, mixt, and possest did not make it.

 

However, there has always been a push to simplify spelling to make it more phonetic. Mark Twain and Benjamin Franklin also supported simplification. The age of texting has driven this movement back into the spotlight. I'm seeing it more and more in business emails and memorandum, especially from those of the younger generation, and I mean 30 somethings, not teens.

 

Get "ust" to it.
