Default Re: Pet peeves on words

My husband was an English Professor and I know he has numerous pet peeves in this area.

The ones that I know upset him more than others are; misspellings and other grammatical errors in college text books and other literature, teachers who can not spell or write grammatically correct sentences, and the list goes on.

I must admit, I do not like to show him anything I write. I sometimes cringe, perhaps he cringes more when I ask him to proof read an article.
