Pet Peeves--New and Improved for 2010

[DD]

I looked back and it's been like two whole years since we've mentioned our pet peeves. I was too lazy to read the other threads, so I don't know if I've mentioned this, but it's one that just drives me nutz.

Spray bottles (cleaners, etc) that stop spraying when there's still about two freakin' inches of cleaner in the bottle. That little pump tube thing is too short to reach the bottom. I know they do this on purpose, so you'll buy more, but oh man, it makes me cuss so much every time.

The superlatives "awesome" and "amazing." Kick me if I say those words again.

"There" is a location, "their" means 2 or more people own it!

Using an apostrophe to separate the "s" in plural nouns and proper names.

"Merry Christmas from the Smith's!"

"The dog's were playing outside."
