It frustrates me to see everything written in lower case, just because I like my capitals. Also, the use of single letters as entire words is extremely annoying to look at, and usually makes a bad impression on me in regards to the person's mental faculties. If you went to school, type a sentence. I can handle bad spelling, but at least spell easy words like you/your/are. Come on.

I have no idea why this bugs me. Maybe because it MAKES NO SENSE when people say "would of." How does that make sense to the people that write it? Yes, I understand WHY they make the mistake; it's because it sounds like it when you say it, but anyone who has a 6th grade education in grammar can obviously tell that "of" is the incorrect word to use. Simply knowing what "of" means will ensure that you don't make that error. So anyway, if any of you say "would of," "could of," or "should of." Please know that it's actually "would have," "could have," or "should have."

I think whenever I've put "Would of" (because that's the way it sounds), I use 'Would've" because that's the correct way to make it into a contraction and retain the sound, without completely writing the wrong words.
Also, an otaku pet peeve: when people say "Animes" or "Mangas." It's a plural
and a singular, people. That's the way Japan is with their nouns.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
