Grammar Nazi

Ending a sentence in a preposition is something up with which I shall not put.
Staring at my prose, a dangling participate wasn't present.
There are three things I hate: Grammar Nazis, deadlines, and oxford commas.

OK, your turn. What is something in the English language up with which you cannot put.

Words that sound the same, but are spelled differently and have different meanings. Or words that are spelled the same but sound differently. WHAT did I just say?

I didn't go to a Grammar school, so that's my excuse.

My issue is with stupidity becoming mainstream.

"I could care less" when the speaker actually means "I couldn't care less"

"would of" for "would've"
