We all have them. Those little things that people do that just drive us crazy. Today's Blogging Challenge prompt is Pet Peeves, or as Boy Oh Boy says it, Pet hates. I have my fair share. You want to know the funny thing though, I know I have them, but when asked what they are, my mind tends to draw a blank. Luckily this time around, I have time to think about them.
If you are following these posts, you may remember I went to school for Secondary English Education. Can you guess where I may be going with this?
Pet Peeve Number One: Those who ignore Simple Language Rules! Some examples would be.... "they're" "their" "there"..."it's" "its"... using the letters "ne" for "any"... and the like. I would sometimes say, run-on sentences and no capital letters, but I can be just as guilty as others for those offences.
Number Two: People who write on the computer in ALL CAPS. In computer/internet language, this is YELLING. I would much rather see no capital letters than all capital letters; to be quite honest.
Number Three: Fake people. Also, mean people. I usually just choose not to be around people that are going to be negative or do everything they can to just put on a facade and not show the real person inside.
I am sure there are more than just those three, but for now, I am going to leave you with that.
Until next time... Happy Spelling!

I love that little graphic! So cute and apt. I am with you on these pet peeves, though. Infuriating!
Very restrained with just 3!
JanMary - I could have listed more I am sure. My mind likes to draw blanks though when I am actually trying to list my pet peeves.
