People who confuse it's and its, so about half the users of the website.

Why? If you can still understand what the person is saying, why does that annoy you? These are forums, there's absolutely no need for everyone to write correctly, especially when you consider that English isn't the native language for most people here. Congratulations if you speak English fluently, but that's a privilege that most people didn't have the opportunity to have.

The problem with that is that the people who often make the most common mistakes and constantly repeat them are usually the native speakers

Exactly.



Misuse or ignorance of the definition of terms.



Lots of things really. Top ones are hardcore atheists and Trump.



My computer at work updated over the weekend. Windows decided it was a good idea to take all my icons in the start menu and replace with with it's default ones instead of leaving mine as they were. Why do this?

Fragrance adverts. They are pointless. Just some how person looking pretty doing something or saying some bullcrap and bam, "buy this smelly".

People at work not being able to say no to clients to 'please them'.

That recent Apple advert where this kid is doing lots of stuff on her laptop and someone over the fence says "You having fun on your PC?" and the kid says "What's a PC?"....
... WTH Apple, you aren't that much of a pretentious company are you that you don't even know what a Personal Computer is Right?..... RIGHT??!!???!? The things you bloody make. Plus makes the kid look dumb.

People not respecting others, I don't care what your gripe of the world is, your religion, your political views, the whole thing, everything is about respect. So few people have that.

Well, he said "People who confuse its and it's", not "native English speakers who confuse its and it's", so I think my point is still valid.

I'm pretty sure that could be extended to include hardcore anything. All extremists are annoying af.
