I hate when people say "their" when they mean "they're," or "your" when they mean "you're" etc.... That just bugs the f*ck out of me.

My biggest peeves are reserved for the requests for help which go something along the lines of, "I just started up my car and now it's doing weird things. What's wrong with it. Thanks." No information about the car which might actually help in a diagnosis is given. Then, naturally, they are pissed because no one posts to help them out.
Oh, and "I like pie".

Not on the survey but one of my forum (any forum) peeves are those who do not try using the search funtion first before posting a question... we really do not need any more posts about the smoke that comes out the tail pipe.

^ that's true.
But some people take the "do a search" to any extreme. Not really on this forum but more so others I've seen.
The thing is how can new information be added to the databank if an old question doesn't come up?

You missed the second "they" in your sentence. It says, "when THE mean" instead of "they" mean. You got it the first time. Funny. LOL!

The thing that bothers me the most is when people post using text messaging shorthand. It's not like you don't have a full keyboard sitting in front of you, unlike most phones.
R U getting it?

My biggest pet peeve is overuse of IM-style abbreviated text; the worst example I've ever seen--from elsewhere on the Web--went something like this:
m a total newbie n crazy abt makn a sudoko solver as my project. sooo can anyone plzz help me out wid dat??..i know basic java n c++.. can i plzz have an idea of how this project wud go..i mean the flow of da program..n how2start..i think its btr doin it in java.. it wud be ma first project n i really really need ur help..i'll prefer maknn a simple solver but of my own coz i really am dumb at understandin codes of others.. hopin 4 a reply dat wud solve ma matter....
thnx..
Every time I read this kind of crap, I just mentally cringe because it gives the impression that the writer has the IQ of a houseplant.

I had a hard time choosing out of the top 6.
I must say though, out of all the forums I visit, this one is at the very top as far as proper grammar and spelling, knowledge, and people respecting each other's opinions.
Sometimes drama is entertaining, but I would rather have a conversation with articulate, educated people any day.
edit: I think we over use this =====> . That really annoys me
