One thing that really pisses me off isn't really a typo per se, but more of a grammatical thing that TONS of people do. And I don't understand why.

The use of quotation marks are meant for... well, quoting. You "do not" need to put random quotes on parts of the sentences to accent it. If you want to do that, use an underline. Or bold. You know. Putting extra quotations marks just doesn't work that way.

Another, briefly mentioned above, is per se. It's not 'per say', even if that's how it sounds. Argh. And it's also curious, but there is no second U in curiosity.

And FINALLY, more of a spoken thing than a typed one... My grandmother is NOTORIOUS for this: adding or removing syllables from words. ELM and FILM are one-syllable words... They are not pronounced 'ellum' or 'fillum'. Similarly, it's pronounced BAT-TER-EE. Not BAT-TREE.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
