Bah! That's just number two
Don't get me started on people saying "everythink" when they mean "everything"! OH ... MY ... GOD!!!! [Bartender edit - we have standards, please remember]!!
Pardon my language there, but it just bugs me. The worst example I have seen was a television reporter speaking to people devestated by huge fires last year and she kept on going on about them losing everythink, she said it so many times and really stressed the K sound. It was just to annoy me I'm sure.
Good grief, if a major network is going to employ someone as an on-air reporter, they should be able to speak English for God's sake
rant over (for now)

THAT is my #1 Pet Peeve of All Time
I cannot begin to tell you how much it...I won't say it because it'll probably get me banned...whenever I see people do that. I'm sorry, but the MOMENT I see someone type that, I immediately wonder if they passed primary school. Because it's a mistake that nobody should make. My opinion of their intelligence just PLUMMETS.
