I hate it when people misspell thing on purpose because they think it is cute, like "cuz wuz pepl dis teh moi luv"; and so on. Then when they try to formulate a sentence it is completely incoherent and makes absolutely no sense at all.   4951

My pet peeve is bad grammar in professional settings. It doesn't bother me in texts or message boards but if I'm reading a newspaper, magazine or a professional web page, or formal letters I expect proper grammar.
