Humor Since I think we haven't been having enough fun lately on OSNews, I decided it's time we do something fun for a change. We all have our little pet annoyances when it comes to other people's comments. Fixed expressions or comment styles that annoy the living daylights out of you. Here are mine.

Why am I posting this. OK, this is not a phenomenon you can attribute to non-native speakers, only. It really shows that English isn't taught properly anymore.

It is "should HAVE", which turns into should'VE in abbreviated form.

It is a real concern for me that people 'talk' like that because they obviously fail to see that a sentence with "of" does not make any sense whatsoever.

Maybe you should print this out and put it up the wall. I know there are many offenders out there ;)
