Unfortunately, "irregardless" is now in the dictionary and considered acceptable. Blech.

I have many pet peeves when it comes to grammar.

"SupposeBly" instead of "SupposeDly" is one that makes my blood boil. It sounds incredibly childish.

When people say "alTso" instead of "also." Nails on a chalkboard.

It's already been stated, but when people say "I seen a dog..." or "I seen a movie...", that bothers me.

You know, it's funny. It bothers me when I see that certain words have been added to the dictionary (perfect example is "irregardless", I used to cringe when my dad said it). But, honestly, if the dictionary weren't constantly updated, we would all still be speaking like Ben Franklin. I'm learning to just roll with the punches, so to speak. Although there are just some things that are flat out improper speech and will doubtfully ever be accepted.

The only thing that really bothers me is not that people don't know any better or don't realize something is incorrect. I'm sure there are a ton of words I use incorrectly and that I don't use perfect sentence structure. My biggest issue is with people who are unwilling to adjust their speech or their writing/typing even once they know it's incorrect. Life's all about learning and growing and it bugs me when people are okay with stagnation. I'm not sure if that makes sense or not.

I love threads like this!
