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.

Ah! Ok this is where I was confused because I interpreted your quotation marks as including dialogue. Right, am still going to request grammar lessons, but might be a little less stupid when I have them.
