    When people use the incorrect form of:

    There, Their, They're

    Your and You're

    Look, I know I might not have the best grammar skills out there, but seriously not getting those words right just makes your entire paragraph/sentence look completly uneducated.

    That or people “who type lik dis n think its kewl”

    UGH!

    Hella. Hella this, hella that. What the hell does that even mean? If you're going to say hell then just use the ****ing word.

    Their their now, lets not get too upset over simple misspellings

    (not that you EVEN cared to know)

    Its a California creation. Instead of saying "a hell of a lot of", just shortened to "hella". Also applied in place of words like "very" and "really". And younger people probably didnt want to outright say "****ing", so hella sounded better.

    When I moved to Cali years back, I had almost that SAME exact reaction word for word when I was getting doused with all kind of hella this/hella thats.

    People who say things such as:

    Nucular.
    Fustrated.
    etc.

    There are many of them.

    Thanks. I was wondering about that. I had the same problem in LA in 2019, when I pretended not to speak the gibberish that was fashionable at the time. It was a real pain in the ass.

    Maybe not entirely related, but living in Austin now, I catch some flack for my pronunciation of words like "huge" or "houston".

    I tend to pronounce them as "yuge" and "yuston". Is a typical pronunciation being raised in H-town, or is it just me?

    Most of the better ones have already been said but no one has said this one:

    Misspelling the word lose by spelling it as loose. That one drives me absolute bonkers! Do people not realize how stupid you look by saying crap like "I sure hope we don't loose this game!" Ugh...

    Another one too is people who write long posts and don't bother using paragraphs thus making their posts unreadable.

    This I don't really have a problem with. I really have a problem with the word p***y though. It just sounds r****ded...

    Btw, I find it insanely annoying that someone has the same screen name as you. Plus, in a thread today he was trying to compare Jordan Hill to Kevin Garnett.

    I could care less actually works in a sentence.

    For example: I don't think I could care less.
