This made me smile. Bad grammar (in writing or speaking) drives me nuts too. Good versus well. When to use me versus I. Run on sentences (commas instead of periods).
And I'm no amazing speller, but I cannot believe how many people misspell "definitely" (it's often "definately"). I see it daily. Everywhere. You watch for it...
Ooh! Kelli. I totally forgot about "good" vs "well". Drives me nuts. So much more than it should, but it really does. And people who say "I" when they should say "me", but they say "I" to sound smart... when they really don't. Sigh.
I completely agree with you and I really hope I have never made those same mistakes! I also don't like when people don't know the difference between accept and except!
HaHa! This made me laugh! I seriously want to comment on most of your posts, just don't get a chance usually.
I totally agree with you. Very annoying. Sad thing though, I think I often get it all wrong. Spelling, punctuation, etc... Oops! Is that possible?! Im a dork.
Don't teach high school--ever! Your skin will crawl when you see what they do...but I guess they deserve a break..they are still learning after all. It's the adults who have been college that really kill me.

Are family fortunately didn't have these problems. Your very lucky to have had good example, two. I'm also trying not too be two critical of others.

What about when people say "fustrated" instead of "frustrated" or "expecially" instead of "especially?" Hate it.

Lots of laughs. :)
None of us are perfect, & I certainly didn't mean to suggest that I am myself! :) But- I try. I hope we all do. But some of it really drives me crazy.
Amen to that. However, I know I am not perfect, and I know I am very guilty of run-on sentences. That is just how my thoughts come out.
I appreciate your honesty about your pet peeves, especially this one.
