@oreillymac: I would say I don’t make the rules but I do and I plan to keep it that way

ferguson 🐶 :

no, "whole nother" is incorrect. always. i won't accept it.

z.misitu 🇲🇽 :

For me it’s the fact that ‘apart’ and ‘a part’ basically have complete opposite meanings and yet the former is ALWAYS the one used when they really meant the latter.

Chilidogsummer :

"whenever" being used incorrectly is SO popular right now and it's like nails on a chalk board

rien_b314 :

One I keep seeing typed out incorrect is ‘should of’ instead of ‘should have’. I think because the shortened ‘should’ve’ phonetically sounds like ‘of’, but it’s supposed to be complete as ‘have’. Haha does that make sense to anyone else? Lol

Salty baby :

I hate “whenever” whenever I went to the store. Not one time but one specific time. It makes me angry.

MissusTwister :

Me: I've grown past being pedantic about the ways people speak or write. If I can understand what they're saying then they are communicating effectively. Also me: THERE IS ONLY ONE U IN NUCLEAR

Jess 😌 :

milkshake :

"i could care less" when they actually meant "couldn't care less" kills me. there was even an iCarly episode about it 😭

Stephanie Walker :

My brain can’t accept when people drop the “ly” from a description of an action. She sang the song amazingly. She didn’t sing the song amazing. She ran quickly. She didn’t run quick. Idk if I’m even right but my brain cannot deal.

anniecenter96 :

Idk if you’ve noticed this one, but all of a sudden people don’t know how to conjugate verbs in the present/past/future perfect tenses. Instead of writing something like, “I have abandoned all hope for humanity”, they’ll write “I have abandon all hope for humanity”. Probably because people are reading less nowadays and the “ed” sound can sometimes be kind of subtle in spoken English

createwithkdhd :

This is my first impression of you and A+. My pet peeve is “yours guyes.” Ugh.

lead coach emily🪴📚 :

Mine is when people use “myself” when they should just be saying “me.” Like when it’s not a reflexive situation yet they say “myself” because they think it makes them sound sophisticated

alxdria :

sorry but i’m so over the “i seen that yesterday” sorry you SAW that???

leslieeeee :

Your vocab about vocab is whatever the opposite of a pet peeve is. Thanks for the NEW WORDS!!

paygregbiffle :

My grammar pet peeve is that the English language is so terrible that its rules do not deserve to be followed

clikclok13 :

omg!! no, no, i hate a whole nother!! it is a whole other. 😳 i wondered when i read your reply if i mixed it up. a whole nother is like nails on chalkboard, i was relieved to hear you say it correctly. sorry!!

cato :

People saying casted instead of cast drives me insane

DoeBeccahedron :

I used to mess up then and than - now I have a special glitch for it. My other one is people using “and I” when it should be “and me”

Butter_Raccoon_🍉 :

I have lost interest in grammar and gained interest in linguistics. Language is so fluid and it's one and only goal is communication, so if that is achieved, it was successful. BUT THERE IS AN N IN GOVERNMENT.

Chilidogsummer :

lmao I love a whole nother 😭 it feels like it's not allowed

Katelyn :

The amount I learn from your videos 🤯

Aly Rose :

I’m trying to train myself to stop saying a-whole-nother because of how much it reminds me of things like “I could care less” or “I member when…” so now I just say “another whole”

Meli :

One day many years ago I realized I said “a whole nother” and then started to notice everyone around me said it as well. I about lost my mind. It still puts a bad taste in my mouth for some reason.

Chicago River :

I keep seeing people use "let alone" backwards. "I can't run a marathon, let alone a mile" is not correct. u mean "or even." "i can't run a marathon, or even a mile." OR, "i can't run a mile, let alone a marathon"

Lauggate :

a "whole nother" is southern twang for "a whole other additional one of them!"!!!
