How about the most annoying, most aggravating, most incorrectly used words in the written English language?

your - "you are" as in "your about to lose"

you're - a possessive, as in "you're robot is falling apart"

NOTHING AGGRAVATES ME MORE THAN WHEN I SEE THAT. Massive quantities of government funding should be allocated to eradicate this evil from our midst permanently.


2nd place - its vs. it's

I dunno. Dont you think thats a bit overstated? :p You can also add "we're" vs. "were" to that. Just plain wrong.

Dunno [duh'·no]- Really dumb abbreviation of "Don't Know". Please avoid at all cost. It makes you sound like a retard in real life and online.

Blinky Thing = light-emitting diode

Round Toothy Thing = sprocket

Mr. ...Um... = Taylor
