Grammer and Speaking - Pet Peeves

Your "correct" sentence is not correct. Me thinks you need to work on proof reading before you start a thread on grammar (I spelled it correctly, you didn't in your title) and speaking.

(disclaimer: I don't claim to be a grammar or speaking expert...but of course I also didn't start a thread on it.)

 

Yes-when people mistake common use for error.

Hehe

My pet peeve is when people eat with their mouths open. I have chosen to end friendships because of this. I simply can't stand it and find it indicative of other problems, such as lack of respect for others and a selfish nature. The last lady I quit talking to had the nerve to do it at the same time she was talking to me on the phone. ew

 

Yeah, this reminds me of one of my pet peeves in which gabby people continuously are asking you questions when you’re hungry and trying to eat. They wait until right after you honk off about three bites and start chewing and then ask you a question while staring at you and insisting for an answer. Now, I think the only reason to open your mouth when you’re chewing is because your nose is stuffed and I tend chew my food “very” well…so… if the eyebrow-raise blinking sign doesn’t get the message across I have a cure for those gabby, inquisitive people...:smilewinkgrin:

 

But the above has nothing to do with the OP.

 

You misspelled grammar. Before you correct others, you should be absolutely sure that you are correct.

 

And this has absolutely nothing to do with the OP also. You have some reading comprehension problems.

 

It always bugs me when people say, "I could care less", when in fact they really mean "I couldn't care less".

Another one that doesn't really bug me, I actually have caught myself doing it sometimes, but is a common error is someone writing "your" instead of "you're"

 

Does that...bother you? :laugh:

I love this thRead!

 

Having a bad day Rippon?

 

I, like, have several, like pet peeves, but, like, one that really, like gets to me, you know, is when people, like, use the word "like" like, all the time, like, you know.

 

What is incorrect about using myself in that sentence?

Advanced English Grammar

Perhaps you were thinking of the improper non-relexive use of myself, such as [*Dad bought Sue and myself ice cream cones]?

 

You're sure about that?
