Dola -
My current grammatical pet peeve (and I'm sure it's been covered in this thread) is folks using "of" where they mean a contraction of "have", i.e. "I should of consulted a dictionary".
It just astounds me that people make this mistake. I get the phonetic cause of it, but I have to wonder what is going through the heads of folks that write those mistakes - do they never stop to think "why would I actually say 'should of' - what does that actually mean?"
I've been seeing a lot of this one lately.
