1. Doubling of letters in business names to apparently make more impact, avoid copyright infringements and also to mangle the English language. For example, as seen in Montreal yesterday...JAGUARR Furniture. Not Jaguar folks....JaguaRR! The appeal is obvious...."Yeah, we're thinking of picking up a JAGUARR [couch]".
2. People who misuse LOOSE vs LOSE. ie. Ottawa better not loose in the first round of the playoffs.
3. The fact that it seems nobody in the world who is a proprietor of a restaurant can spell Caesar, as in salad, or the drink. Ok, maybe it's not the owner, but rather, the impish waif tossing cocktails who got her mitts on the dry erase marker for the sidewalk sign...but whatev. Almost everytime I see it...it is some new variation: Ceaser, Ceasre, Caezer, Seizure, etc...ad nauseum.

Hahaha. Never picked up on the first one before, but can see how that would be annoying. Number two has been a longtime annoyance of me to the extreme...to the point I want to loose it sometimes! And yes, caesar is oft times misspelled to my chagrin.
But you did hit some good ones there. You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover...but it's spelling and grammar? Always.
Hahaha..."it's" I cry! Good thing I caught that earlii b4 someone else had a chance to call me out...
Just let me add to my list of peeves..the following:
People who drive over speedbumps as if they are laden with explosives, reducing their speed to around 0.2 km/hr and easing their way over these perilous hurdles. Easy...take it easy...careful...watch out....phew!
