My mother's pet peeve is compose/comprise. I get to hear about that at least once a week.

Please be more pacific.

If anyone needs grammar help, I are an English Major

Sew, watt is you're wurst grammer pet peeve? Four me, its "Where you at?" followed by "That car is mines."

Magellan circumcized the world with a giant clipper. That's one I remember from a friend who teaches Freshman English. It sounds too good to be true, that sentence.

Here's one that a student handed in to me. It was a beginning French class. At the time, it was teaching fashion to have even beginning students keep diaries in the target language. The students are given basic diary vocab, such as starting each entry Cher journal (Dear Diary).

So I get this notebook where every entry begins Chère laitière. It means Dear Dairymaid. Hmmm. :confused:

Ten minutes of blinking at that, I finally figured it out: if you get yourself a French/English dictionary and you spell diary as dairy ... voilà.

Your and You're! It's showing up on billboards incorrectly! AUGHGHGH!!! :mad:

We saw one at a furniture store the other day: All recliners are not created equal.

I would imagine in your case you had better have a great affinity for grammar, let something go into print incorrectly. (My personal peeve with printed matter)

And SCA, we have the same type of spelling lists here too. It saves me from having to correct the Your, and you're, which frankly I love.
My son also has a list he has to keep in his notebook of commonly misused, or spelled words.
