    I'd say your/you're and they're/their

    They're/Their,

    even though I've probably done it when I'm in a rush, but never on something I've looked over.

    I get even more annoyed when "There" gets used in place of They're/ Their.

    Any grammatical errors at all make me want to punch someone in the face. People need to learn to speak proper English.

    What is Its?? it's is it is always so it should always be it's.... right? I need to ask a question now :( But both the top two bother me especially when you throw "there" into the equation.

  • Its and It's isn't too bad. But your/you're and they're/there definitely!!

    My gears never grind over grammar errors. If I can understand it I'll answer and don't mind errors. :)
