2004?! Damn, old thread, yet so beyond awesome. Hahaha love it.

Things that bug me:

I'll keep with the Wicked trend haha.

--

Then/than.

Ex. "Wicked is better than *whatever show*"
"You know when *random person* was in Wicked? I saw it then!"

--

Me/I

Ex. "This is a picture of *name* and me in front of the Gerswhin!"
"Josh and I saw Wicked last week."

--

Definitely.
IT'S SPELLED D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y. There is no a.
That just bugs me.
Edit: That's not grammar...oh well.

29/30, until I realized it's because one of the questions on the test is itself wrong. For question 19, the "right" answer on the test is "Correct," but there is actually a mistake in there, so it should be "Incorrect." Yes, I have no life. :)

Updated the Grammar page to include "loser" and "looser". How depressing is that?

How about affect and effect? They're not included here and are very frequently misused.

I suppose I might be the only person it annoys?

I can't believe I have never seen this thread before.

Mister Matt, did you intentionally call "Idina" "Eden" (see very first thread)?

How about the thread right below this, about Roddy McDowall's "party's?"

Dottie - Yes. It was intentional.

Jane2 - I entitled a link to this thread for that very reason in the party's thread. It wasn't to be mean, but I was sort of in shock.

lovelyspotlight - I thought about doing affect and effect, but there are simply too many definitions that are too closely related to make it worthwhile. It would need its own thread.
