    To/too
    Their/they're/there
    Your/you're

    I thought we all learned that shit in like 2nd grade.

    When people end statements with question marks. Example: "I thought the truck was black?"

    You're TELLING me what you thought, not asking me. No fucking question mark.

    The "sale my truck" thing bugs the shit out of me too. I almost said something the other day when someone on here said that, but I didn't want to be a dick.

    Do you need an apostrophe in "habit's" in that case?

    One of mine is when somebody says, "Yeah...we're going to run to Wal-Marts here in a minute."

    Unless you are actually going to go to different Wal-Mart stores in one trip, you would actually just be going to Wal-Mart in a minute.

    Me too and "Where they at?" or "Where they is?" I hear these, and their variations, all the time.

    Another one is, "Where you at?" instead of "Where are you?"

    It show possession so that would be correct, wouldn't it?

    This one drives me insane. When I go to the gas station to pick something up and the person behind the counter will say, "Credic or debic?". That drives me completely insane! They will also say, "did you buy and fruel?". It's very frustrating. Learn how to speak properly!
