I'm getting tired of professional writers not knowing this:

it's = it is
its = belongs to it

Grammar Nazi!

Actually it drives me crazy too, even though I'm sure I have things I screw up too.

The worst is when they want to make it plural but use 's

For example: I had 3 duck's.

Can't say that I've noticed that one, at least not from professional writers, but I do hate it.

I also hate 'alot'. Drives me nuts.

Oh, and the incorrect use of 'litterally'. Makes me mental.

For me, it's the people that use 'alot' that really piss me off.

There's no such word as 'alot'. Look it up, world!

Journalists these days can't write for shit, and neither can their editors. I don't consider them actual professional writers anymore.
