A plasterer has just driven past my house with that same missing apostrophe on his van
"not just a job, its art" |  |

That actually bugs me less than the possessive form being used with an apostrophe. | |

...it when you're posting on forums or texting etc.
Grammar police turds and all that.
But people actually taking time and then spending money to get things printed or painted incorrectly is remarkable.
Innit. | |

It's not as common as of/had but shouldn't be too difficult. Worse/worst does get annoying too. |  |

Starting every sentence with “So” is even more annoying to me.
Another Americanism creeping in.  |  |

The English language is an absolute basket case. People getting annoyed by the use of the language, rather than the language itself make me laugh.
- 5 vowels for about 20 vowels sounds. Stupid.
- Pointless letters like C, that just steal sounds off other letters. Confusing new learners. Stupid.
- No way of telling where the syllables land, unless taught. Stupid.
- Capital letters. Pointless. They don't exist in other languages, like Korean.
- Spelling the same sound multiple different ways and then acting surprised when people use them in the wrong place. E.g. they're, their, there. Stupid.
- Its or it's... it doesn't matter. It is the same sound. Context makes it abundantly clear which one is correct.
I can go on. The language needs a complete overhaul. Users really aren't to blame. [Post edited 1 Jul 2019 18:01]

The worst by far is people who confuse “definitely” and “defiantly”
The mind boggles at how regularly people mix them up |  |

It's pronounced like that, but I think it might be spelled Vough. | |
