Mine's that people who insist on correcting others grammar on internet forums are little shits who peaked in grade six as a teacher's pet and get off on exerting their "superiority" on others.

Fuck you "less than" is just better than "fewer then." Think I'm wrong, tell me what these symbols are called "< >" that's what I thought loser.

The only grammar thing that annoys the hell out of me is "on accident". No idea why, it just really sticks out and bugs me when I come across it. I rarely mention it when I see it though, because I know that noone actually cares.

    I think this is a dialectical thing! Iirc, in the US it’s more common to say “on accident” and in the UK it’s “by accident”, but I’m not certain

    I'm not sure I've heard someone say on accident it's always by accident in the PNW (West Coast USA)

    That bugs me as well. Another is 'off of'. There is no use case when 'off' isn't sufficient.
