I have a few pet peeves:

* People who can't control their spit when they talk, but they want to get right up in my face to hold a conversation.

* People who prop their feet on or kick the back of my chair.

* Having my sleep interrupted.

I totally respect that you are sharing freely about your feelings.  And, for those people who just don't have grammar down (or, for me, are a bad speller) -- or are stealing a moment of support in the middle of your work day and don't have time to review, I hope you continue to share your joy, concerns, questions, etc. regardless of communication irregularities!   As I've grown older, I now catch when I've used a contraction incorrectly or switched words (our and are) and it mortifies me.  I never used to make these mistakes -- and I certainly know the rules -- but my brain isn't quite as sharp and I'm in twice the rush I used to be.  It galls me when it happens but I have to go on.  So keep sharing no matter what!

These are things that you generally need to let slide on the internet.  Some folks have never learned the difference, but some folks just get in a hurry and don't double-check spellings and grammar before hitting the send button.  I know I am often guilty of leaving the 'r' off of you when I mean to say your.  Many folks confuse there, their, and they're.  We just need to remember the internet is fairly informal.

I deceided a long time ago that there are bigger things in life to be peveed about (homeless, people going hungry, abuse of anysort) other then grammer and spelling errors as I am dyslexic and can't spell because of it.

My pet peeve is the Morning Dove that eats breakfast outside my window every morning at 4:00 AM.

The one that bugs me is people who "weight" themselves.  When I weight this morning I was "x" pounds.  I weigh, but I have lost weight.

I've skipped over alot of posts on this forum because the OP has not used a single paragraph in a page long post, OR has started a new paragraph with every single damn sentence. It's so hard to read. That and the all caps, ugh. I'll admit to inner cringing when I see their/there/they're and your/you're and OMG here/hear problems but, for the most part I can ignore that and move on. I just can't muster up any real comprehension for paragraphless, or too-paragraphed stuttering posts. My brain won't compute them
