My typical grammar pet peeves are (there, their, they're) (it's vs its).

Yep and the your versus you're, further, farther, less versus fewer (they have this at Albertsons ... errg, who and whom... you get to learn all these things as a copy-editor trainee.... the grammer mistakes used to drive us wild!

Any no one should even mention MY spanish....

I hate it when people use commas in place of periods.

I went to the store,,,!!!! There a really smart sweet guy I know on another site that constantly does thing. He will write

Gabby's will be racing tonight.,,,,

A period is sufficent!!

For all you grammar freaks, how about having to put up with people who were raised with saying warshed instead of washed? Or birfday instead of birthday?
Or even I'm gunna instead of I'm going to? it's heck here I tell ya! and they hate me when I correct them or repeat them and make it sound as funny as it sounds to me.

I even am notorious for correcting peoples emails and sending them back. Maybe that's why I have no friends??

My other pet peave is lying. I hate people who do it and I absolutely won't do it myself or for anyone. Nothing is worth lying for IMO.

I hate it when I'm serving a customer and they are on their phone. I say VERY loudly that will be $15.00 thanks as if to specially interrupt them!

That IS very rude. Not sure what I would do if someone came to pay for something and spent the whole time jawing on a celphone.
