Never bothers me to be honest. I do get bothered when someone is picked up on it to make them feel bad.

OH is a terrible speller. He really doesn't see words. It's not a problem. I just fill out all the forms

The Oxford comma is my pet peeve! I have a little diagram about it that involves Stalin & JFK dressed as strippers but I'm not sure it is entirely appropriate so I shan't post it

I'm not a total grammar snob but it does annoy me when people at work spell things incorrectly or send emails that are barely coherent, especially when it's in emails to people we're working with

ETA: I just remembered a spelling mistake I made though so I probably shouldn't comment on other people's! I put together all the sales posters & presenters that we send out at work & recently I had to make some for our new line of pork scratchings. I sent them out to all the higher ups in the company before I realised my terrible spelling mistake - I had called them porn Scratchings

Jenny, I feel like you, and over at that 'other place' it seems almost normal, I don't have time to go there any more.

In spoken English the one that really makes me mad is when people (Usually under twenty types) start saying "I goes to him" and "He goes to me" when they should be using the verb "To say"
