One thing that really irks me is people misusing you're and your.

I went to go sign up for toilet paper on my RA's door, and someone had written on her dry-erase board, "Aimee - hope your rockin' out at Mardi Gras!"
I drew a huge arrow from "your" and wrote in very large, angry, capital letters: YOU'RE and drew arrows pointing to the apostrophe.

i know all too well about the your and you're thing. copy editing has brought me to the brink of homicide. most common offense: apostrophe abuse. blah.

OH MY GOD. My mom does that ALL THE TIME and it drives me NUTS! Then she gets pissed when I point it out everytime, and I'm like "..but it's wrong."

seriously why do college students mess shit up like that...I won't even get into "alot" and the "their, they're, and there" business

This reminded me of an icon someone has on my friendslist that I thought was so hilarious I had to save it.

That is the longest icon I've ever seen. I love it!

There's a book called "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves" by Lynn Truss that you totally need to read.

Amen for other people who care about grammar.
