When people either type with "tx speak" or do not spell easy words properly and use simple grammar. I'm not great with grammar but some people just take the mick. People who also judge or have a hardline opinion on an issue without even knowing the issue fully also irritate me.
I`ve nvr used it b4 lol no but i don't like to use proper grammer on the internet no point unless making a websight but i nvr use " ` " i did "I`ve" as a joke so lol.
My biggest pet peeve is ignorance.
I don't mean to be racist or anything, but you know them people who make a thread/reply that makes absolutely no sense? I swear, they're all foreigners who don't have much experience in English, and it is really frustrating. You're trying to get information out of them, yet they keep feeding you indistinguishable gibberish. That's my pet peeve.

Uhh, I am foreignerBebe-pleure
I have several. I dislike it when people don't even attempt to write properly. This includes spelling, grammar usage, punctuation, and so on. I can understand if a person is foreign that they aren't going to have impeccable English, but there's a distinct difference between:

"Hello. My English, it's not so good, however you maybe will understand Smile"
vs.
"hi my english s not gud, howver u maybe will understand?"

I hope y'all know what I mean.

Another pet peeve of mine is when people speaking Swedish use shorthand writing. Actually, this is frustrating no matter what language you are speaking, but as someone who speaks Swedish as a second language, it's annoying to read native speakers write like "d" instead of "det", "kmr" for "kommer", "dd" for "du då", "sj?" for "själv?", and so on.

I also dislike it when people omit manners when requesting help. I've seen people in the HijackThis section of HF say, "Analyze my log." without giving an explanation as to what problems they are experiencing or without saying "please" or "thanks".

OH, and this doesn't have to do with people per se, but I really hate it when you go to a webpage and it's ENTIRELY in Flash. Do webmasters not realize how difficult it is to navigate such websites? I once went to a site for a juice company, trying to see if they made a certain type of lemonade, and I could NOT figure out how to navigate their site. I had to click some flower to go to the next page, and the only way I know that was because my cursor turned into a hand or whatever upon hovering over the flower.

Another annoying thing is when people set media, such as music or video(s), to autoplay when you visit their site. I click my 'back' button as fast as possible and don't even think about coming back.
UPPORT, you are capable of typing with correct grammar, however.
I hate when people replace p's with q's and g's and stuff like that.
For example, this retarded post from someone I'm friends with on facebook
Quote:He just qon hurt you & neqlet you well let em say what they wanna i made a promise, to do you riqht & im qonna , qirl i do everythinq i can to prove ima better man , than ya friends think i am ♥
