My pet-peeve...

I hate when people type y-o-u-r when trying to explain something about or to a person...

It's Y-O-U-'-R-E
and yes, I am shouting.

Oh you'd love this...

my husbands invitation to his Christmas party said on the front

YOUR INVITED

I corrected it with a red sharpie and left it on the kitchen counter!

That's a huge pet peeve of mine also!!!

There's a public access show that's on all the time about wedding planning on Long island, and they named it 'Your Getting Married'.
The whole time the show is on, the title is on the bottom of the screen....sooooo frustrating to me!

The Your thing is totally a -pet peeve of mine - along with all the other commonly mispelled grammatically incorrect words. It especially bothers me when you see it on a sign or in an ad for a store - that drives me crazy - makes the people look so stupid!
