True. Spelling is also an issue.

"Should OF" instead of "should HAVE" makes my flesh crawl. Seriously. It makes me want to donkey-punch the offender.
Cosigned.
Also, I hate when people use the word "literally" too much and erroneously. It makes me want to buy this t-shirt:

Bad grammar is the language equivalent of littering.
I cringe.
I will admit to throwing a "wuddnt" as in, "Who ate the last of the mostaciolli?" "Iowno, wuddnt me."
Apart from that, my grammar is Ross-from-Friends-like. "There is nothing wrong with speaking correctly."
I occasionally use "axe" ironically.
I have an admittedly very thick Southern accent but work around quite a few Northerners. I love to see the flummoxed look in their faces when I start throwing around (correctly) five dollar words in meetings and then following them up with either Southern phrases or misused words like 'axe.'

I absolutely hate when people don't put an "s" on the end of a word where an "s" should be.
Like "He need to call me." Is it really hard to just add one extra fricking letter?
Also when people misspell definitely as defiantly.
That gets me as well.
I also hate it when people apostrophize plural words. I do not know where this phenomenon started, but it needs to stop. Heck, I've even seen people insert apostrophes into last names like Jones or Williams. Seriously.
"Jerry Jone's want's to draft Blake Bortle's with one of his pick's in the NFL Draft."
Don't get me started on "your" and "you're."
