As some of you know... English is not my primary language and I make mistake... yet, it totally annoys me when I read:

Your welcome!!! Hello!!!! Even MOI knows it's not correct.

I must had to the list: He don't, she don't...



Sophie, this thread was NOT directed at you or anyone else for whom English is not their primary language. We're talking about people who grew up here, graduated HS (some even college), hold high-paying jobs, throw lavish weddings, and yet can't seem to properly speak or write.



Btw I love how you threw some French into your post!!

My favorite is: 'I seen' as in 'I seen her at the store.' Um, no. It's I SAW her!! My husband and his family are FAMOUS for that one. It's like nails on a chalk board to me!!!

In the spirit of the season - I cannot stand when people refer to Feb 14 as Valentimes Day. It's an N not an M.



I never heard that. But it would drive me up a friggin wall if I did!!!!




Ditto, but this reminds me of liberry.

Um hello, it's pronounced library



We are a picky bunch of how's, aren't we?

Usually when you receive your education outside of the US your grammar is really strong. You have to learn a completely new language, so you learn everything about it.
( 'your' pronon possessif, masculin, singulier)

Same feeling for me, fingernails on a blackboard when I hear, 'I seen.'
