I hate, "Y'all".

  Queen Victoria occasionally says "y'all."  My favorite example is the post in which she asked,
   "How the fuck do y'all post a link to a Youtube video?!"  That's how you do it.  :2thumbsup:

You people ARE mean, making all these errors!

Correcting errors is of the upmost importance.

That's correct. Correcting them before other people notice is even better. It's like it never happened.

That's why I said it, and put below that I felt mean.

I didn't get it. I guess I didn't understand what "I feel mean" meant and that was a pet peeve, too.

It is far better for people to hate you for doing the right thing than for people to love you for doing the wrong thing. Never ever forget that.

Vietmanese.

Yes, really! Look at it again. They do not say Vietnamese, they say Vietmanese.

As funny as that is, I feel that many average people will look at it and notice "ONE"  mistake, maybe two.

Great find, Ren!

Talking about one of the mistakes, I hate to see when people write compound words when they are not warranted AND the inverse as well.

There is a difference between "sometime"  and  "some time,"  right?

... any way and anyway  (how about anyways?  :green:)

... when ever and whenever
