I have one. It's the misuse of "then" with "than". Holy shit! Even big sites are doing it now!

 

I mean, I'm not American. I'm from Asia. English is our secondary language, but I know how to use it properly. Not like I'm a grammar-Nazi by any means. Just that word. Fuck! I hate it more then Activision! Heehee...See what I did there? Yep. I'm lame. :)

That reminds me that I don't like Grammar Nazis. Fair enough if their are a load of mistakes on a professional website, but if it is in the comments or a personal blog etc. then just get over it: it just makes you look really petty and I will probably not even care if you make a valid point after your little diatribe.

People who type in text speak in texts.

 

 

I actually agree on this. I mean unless you're 12 or 15, you should be able to write the whole text down. Unless you're driving, being attacked by sharks, etc. Some words are ok. But typing "Ei U wr we gna go 2nte dog?" Is just wrong.

 

To reiterate, I am not a grammar-nazi. I just hate "then" and "than" being mixed up. Punctuation errors, etc. Are perfectly fine.

 

Oh, I also hate it when I read the words "MEH". I mean there's a game preview and you scroll to the comments section and see "MEH" written. That's it. No additional words why "meh" was warranted.

 

Please tell me I'm not the only one...

I hate people who have poor spelling and grammar. I will look down on you if you post like a spanner.

 

People who post spoilers in torrent comments. Fuck you. I had the Royal Rumble this year spoiled. Fuckers.
