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

it's = it is
its = belongs to it

I hate that too. I really, really, really hate it. Have you seen that blog called Apostrophe Abuse. Friggin' hilarious.

Your knot fun knee.

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.

woah

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

You live in an oven.

[transairn.livejournal.com]

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!

I was going to do a there/their/they're joke, but jodfoster beat me to it. *sniff*

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