Current annoyances
People putting punctuation inside quotation marks. I know it's the rule for North Americans, but it's wrong and people should be better.
Having to count how many "r"s different writers use for "grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl" (it's usually substantially fewer than that) because this easy-flowing, self-defining, reclaiming thing is ALL WELL AND GOOD, but I am all about consistency and standards and blanket rules that stifle all creative expression.
I'm HUNGRY and all my food is in my office.
