They're, there, and their is my pet peeve. Its really not that hard.

As an English major, all of these have bugged me for years. The one that gets me the most, perhaps, is “wonder” vs “wander.” It seems so easy to me, but people mess it up all the time lol

There / their / they’re / thar seems way too difficult for many.

Early wake up call for me was when a student first told me we “might could try” something

I’d be interested to learn the difference in meaning between “might could” and “could”

It seems it might could be time for the realists and trolls to mass exit this board and leave it to the butt lickers and sunshine pumping sisspots that have little to do butt wander about other peoples grammar. Let this board become like the rolltide sorry excuse for social media. You nancies deserve each other.

Not really a grammar thing I guess, but "I could care less" bugs me when someone clearly means they couldn't care less

I always ask "How much more could you care less?" which usually gets me a "What?" look back.

But the thing is, I often find out there really is a new level to my caring less. I have a super power. I've yet to find something that I could not care less more about.
