I think Renda was once saying that we read a post how it's supposed to be worded and don't always pay attention to the spelling. Of course, there are the others among us who........

Re: Grammar!
Do not use the word "Flustrated." I will hurt somebody, I promise.

Contraction of "would" and "have": would've 
One I say all the time (and irritate myself) is "while ago" instead of "awhile ago"--it comes out sounding like "walla-go." UGH!!!!!

Our pastor taught one Wednesday night on listening to your "conscience", and I was trying not to snicker (okay, I wasn't trying ALL that hard) the whole night--he kept saying "conscious" when he meant "conscience", and vice versa. It was so funny. The pastor's wife was visibly wincing with every incorrect usage.  He's a smart guy, so that made his mix up even funnier.

Re: Grammar!
I can't stand it when people say "aks" instead of "ask."
