Re: Grammar/spelling: what really annoys you?

I think the only thing I demand from forum-posting grammar is that it's broken down into reasonable paragraphs and some attempt has been made to delimit sentences. It's a pain in the ass just to read text that's not properly capitalised and punctuated at least to the level of full-stops and the odd comma, and takes basically no effort to achieve.

Aside from that I'm pretty easy; I get annoyed when people improperly use 'higher level' grammatical constructs to make their arguments look somehow better than they are but I can withstand a spelling mistake or a misplaced apostrophe without tearing at my hair.

Getting more serious, the meaning may still be conveyed, but the grammar could be wrong. E.g.

I'm wearing a scarf, I then take it off... "I'm wearing less clothing than before" or "I'm wearing fewer clothing than before". The later is grammatically incorrect. However, if I were to refer to clothes rather than clothing the former would have been grammatically incorrect.

'Fewer' is to be used when something is countable; 'less' is to be used when something isn't countable, but rather measurable.

If Nod reads this, in future he'll make fewer mistakes, and draw less attention from pedants!

Mistakes can be counted, attention can be measured.

That's not a valid counterargument, as that's a specific word, although it's probable that you know that. However, reading the rest of your post, it's clear you don't know what nod was getting at.
