Rules Project 1: Pet Peeve Memes

I did a blog on what seemed to be the most common pet peeves of grammar natzis and that got me thinking...grammar memes! I decided to take a look at grammar memes and talk about different categories with in all the grammar memes posted online, so I felt it most appropriate to start with Pet Peeve Grammar Memes! Enjoy!

So in case you didn't know what grammar is...

This is how most of our grammar natzis and grammar police feel. They just can't understand how we could have such poor grammar, so they have been ever so nice to assist us with pet peeve memes highlighting the ones you should really look out for. Let us take a look.

There are so many of these all over the Internet. Some could say they are raising awareness, others could say their pet peeve is seeing people meme about their pet peeves! However, how I see it is they truly wish that they could sell their pet peeves...

and not have to be so frustrated when they are out and about and see this:

Then we just can't blame them when our improper grammar makes them loose it.

After that happens, well we just can't get them back!

The Huffington post was also interested in what were the kinds of pet peeves that got people going so they did a poll open to people in which they voted on their most annoying grammar mess ups. Granted I know polls aren't always accurate because when it is a voluntary survey you do not always get a perfect varied sample but hey its a start into looking at what gets people going the most and was very helpful to me.

Another really helpful site was through the Pennington Publishing blog that was nice enough to separate grammar pet peeves into different sections such as grammar pet peeves, vocabulary pet peeves, and pronunciation pet peeves and misuses. Feel free to check it; here are the links:
