I was doing some BlogExplosion surfing this morning and realized a pet peeve I didn't know I had:
People who have beautifully designed websites who are unable to spell worth a shit. I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but damn, I got let down a few times. The misuse of they're, there, and their is burning my eyes!
The inhumanity!
I hear ya, sister. "It's" and "its" burn my butt. These are so basic! Nothing turns me off of a site faster than five dollar words accompanied by messed up possessive pronouns and conjunctions.
