The strongest being "lie-berry". It's not a libary. That would make me a Libarian, making it seem I am from the Land of Libaria. There are 2 R's in the word, and neither of them are silent.

There is no such word as "supposably", or "orientate", or "nuke-u-ler".

I'll stop now.

Oh girl, I hear you..and I raise you...
some of mine are: use of: then/than, you're/your, metal/medal, its/it's, and their/there...ok....nextttttttttttttt...lol

Oh my! I could spend the rest of the day listing my pet peeves. Top rated ones are:

- Pictures that do not hang straight. (I cannot help myself, I have to straighten them. Usually it means waiting until my host turns their back.)

- People who constantly check their cell phones for email and/or facebook crap during dinner out or at a gathering. (I recently blew off a woman I was dating for this rude behavior.)

I regularly go out with a group of three women from my neighborhood. Right after we get seated, they all haul out their cell phones, put them on the table, and begin their "every 5 minute" check for messages. It makes me wonder how they survived before the advent of cell phones...

OK. I admit to talking on the phone while shopping , or i plug in my ipod into my ears ..

When you are on a date leave your phone in your pocket and focus on your date.

Speaking of language related pet peeves. It make me crazy when someone use "lose" and "loose" in the wrong form. I see it often in chats.

Don't even get me started on grammar and spelling peeves.

Unnecessary apostrophes drive me apeshit! Every plural word does NOT need an apostrophe people!!

Your and you're

Starting a sentence with a conjunction. Oy!
