  I get so annoyed reading native English speakers’ grammatically, and first and foremost punctually incorrect written work. Especially when these articles are published on major web sites, like TechCrunch.com for example.

  I’m reading emails and I’m getting annoyed by the fact that adults, probably in their 30s and 40s don’t know the difference between “there” and “their”! My guess is they are relying on the spell checker, but 2 things: 1) why is someone using a spell check for a words like “there” or “their”; 2) the grammar checker in the spell checker is not perfect, nor does it know what the heck the user is trying to say. People really need to use their heads, and always proofread!
