I have a problem

Didn't read the whole thread, but mine is "no one' - it's not 'noone'.

Ouch

I cringe when someone says "it was so fun"

Or when a clothing shop features a "pant sale"

For all intensive purposes

All the sudden

Down the shore.

I've lived in New Jersey for 31 years and I still cringe when I hear that. I often go TO the shore but as lomg as I live will never go down the shore

Sorry, but that's correct. If you're going to live in NJ, you have to deal with it.

Just because it's common doesn't mean it's correct

Aks is pretty common, too.

I know the problem is mine, and mine alone. Lots of people have grammarian tedencies, but there is one word mususe that makes my teeth hurt. It's uncommon mainly because the words are not exceptionally common. Not rare, but not I vs. me either.
Averse. The word is averse. I am averse to something. Not adverse. Adverse means something completely different.
It's clear what people mean, so I feel petty about my problem. But it's a good thing NJ has such strict gun laws. Otherwise I might be facing multiple sentences (pun intended).

Irregardless, your not alone. Their are lots of people who are petty when there confronted with bad grammer. For all intensive purposes your an obsessive. Me and my wife were just talking about other grammer snobs. There issues would effect my wife and me until we agreed to stop letting it effect us. Now we could care less.

Ow. Owwwww. Oh man, that's just twisting the knife.

I also avoid alliteration always

This is making my stomach hurt
