I seem to have more the older I get, but here are two that currently are driving me crazy:

What has happened to those 2 little letters, "er" to describe something that is biggER, longER, prettiER, etc?  Everyone seems to now say "More long", or "More pretty", or whatever?  Huh?

And not knowing the difference between "Fewer" and "Less".  Less is when, say, a person has eaten half of their sirloin.  There's "less" of it than there was when they started eating.  "Fewer" describes when a group of items, say, like marbles, has been decreased in numbers.  Like, "I've lost most of my marbles so I now have 'fewer' than I did when I was in my 20's". 

Anyway, I guess it's syntax errors that are my pet peeves! That and spelling!

Welfare and other gimme so I don't have to do squat programs.  I know some people legitimately need this help, but there should be a time limit then they are cut off for a very extended period of time if not for life.  The government could at least make them earn it,  I mean how hard would it be to make them do community service to get the checks.

Also why should prisoners have so many rights and privileges.  There is a reason they had their right to freedom taken away why should they have any others?  They do not need cable TV, heat / ac and 42 appeals to try and prove they are innocent or get a stay of execution for the umpteenth time .  Chain gangs need to be common place again.  If criminals can't act right in the community then they can serve it and earn the 3 squares and bed they get each day.  If there were more Sheriff's like Apiscipo (sp) in Arizona there might be less crime.
