Two of my pet peeves, usage of your and you’re, which mean two different things and to and too.

It doesn’t bother me because it makes me feel better about my writing when others screw up. If I use wrong grammar, I’d like to be called out. I’m not going to be embarrassed, I will feel I learned something and hopefully that’s the last time I do that.
 
Grammar pet peeve: "I seen a deer."

Correct: "I saw a deer"

Thought this was only a Midwestern thing, but it seems more widespread. Growing up in the south there are many mutilations of the English language, but I didn't hear this one, that I can remember.
 
Sometimes when I use the radio to call or talk to my brother-in-law when hunting, I use bad grammar when I know other strangers are listening or on the same channel. I also talk about unusual things like a bowel movement. It allows the other listeners to have a good laugh and share in a funny moment and maybe gives them a story to tell.
 
I took english as a foreign language. My english teacher when I was a senior in high school told me " in all my 50 years of teaching you by far are my worst student". When I took english in college I got A ...just didn't seem to identify with the ol gal. I still struggle with correct grammar. Kind of funny as I made my living using communication skills to a large extent.
 
If I commented on all the bad grammar, I wouldn't have time to eat. :ROFLMAO:

About the only time I do comment is on threads like this one, especially when someone is using bad grammar to correct someone else's bad grammar. Or if it's just too funny to pass up.

My main concern has always been...do you understand what I am saying, not do you agree. Funny how each of us has different interest, gifts and talents. I can be a pretty good writer but I have to be in the right frame of mind other wise I am lousy. Mis -communication is the cause of a lot of our problems ?

True that! Especally true when it's written. Makes it difficult to know what is really meant sometimes, i.e. as in humor, sarcasm, etc.
