I would say it's the misuse of the words then and than.

They're and their. Pet fricking peeve.

It might not technically be grammatically incorrect, but "y'all" makes me want to punch someone too.

Oh, and when someone says "I could care less" they should DIAF.

Then and than bothers me the most since they don't sound the same.

I see this one a lot. I think a lot of people have been called out for your/you're and their/they're/there and people are starting to use them correctly (at least more so). I've seen terrible misuses of hear/here on the MSB lateley.

The misuse of a part and apart bothers me.

People here get "definitely" and "defiantly" confused all the time and it drives me crazy

We don't have many Louisville posters around here. It's a good thing.

I mix up then/than all the time. It's my grammar kryptonite.

They are/Their/They're has to be the most shameful though that people jack up.
