My pet peeve are people like you... If you get what we are talking about, and it isn't formal, who gives a ****.
Edit: English is my first language, and I don't give a hoot if I mess up, this is the internetz
Why are you bringing this junk about resumes and essays, onto the internetz forum with no resumes or essays? Btw, i ended in a period because it wasn't really a question -.-My pet peeve are people like you... If you get what we are talking about, and it isn't formal, who gives a ****.

I don't really care about formal on the net, or the fact that you ended a question with a period instead of a question mark, or the fact that you just used the verb "to be" in plural form for the singular noun "pet peeve." That's easy to do. I sometimes don't catch it.
The switching of "then" and "than" is, as I perceive it, a new issue. It's bazaar because it's not that hard a concept. And, seemingly educated people do it! I see many comments that are grammatically flawless, or pretty close, until they get to those words. It's crazy.
The problem is that people don't just use improper grammar on the "internetz." They carry it into their papers and resumes. But, at least it makes my resume stand out. And, it makes it difficult for an English professor to put a "C" on my essays and papers when they're surrounded by poorly written ones.

Their, there and they're
To, too and two
I agree.... all of the above are misused here quite a bit.
As for spoken language, adding "at" in regards to one's location can drive me crazy.
"Where are you at?"
"I went to the place she was at."
Aughhhh!!!!!

is this a attempt to make sure we due gooder grammar. Than this is a waist of time and space.
If you live in a country that speaks a language other than your native language, it's your responsibility to learn that language...
Well... common. That's an entirely different concern. I have patience for someone learning the language.
It's those who are products of our schools that amaze me.

I blame Twitter and Facebook!

No,no,no,no! A bazaar is a marketplace, a street market, usually in the Middle East.
The word you should have used is "bizarre"...meaning strangely unconventional, weird, or odd.
