Or...when people don't capitalize the beginnings of their sentences. Like *cough* Daniel *cough*

Best not to rant about grammar people.

Yes, we do.
My biggest grammar pet peeve is you're and your. You're is a contraction of you are, and your indicates belonging. =P

I hate how so few people actually seem to understand that. It's bad enough when someone makes a simple mistake, I do that all the time, but when people repeatedly use those two interchangeably... I hate it!

Oh yeah, for the record, I'm extremely good at picking out other people's grammar shortcomings, but I make tons of errors myself. It's hilarious. I wouldn't be surprised if this post I'm writing has a typo in it.

yep, that's what I do all the time

Actually, the more people talk about it, the more grammar errors annoy me. Generally I do my best to skip over them, simply so that I won't be forever driven in sane due to my own pet peeve(s).

I don't want to be mean, but I thought I'd point that out...

Actually, I can't decide if that's a grammar error or spelling error.

Oooh yes you do ryan.....oh yes.....

Can't use commas for that; they're not strong enough. Need dashes.

I'd say that's a matter of opinion. It depends on the writer's intention. I think it fits well, myself.

It's not a matter of opinion. Just the bold part contains two independent clause and one dependent clause. A pair of commas just isn't enough. The clause "I do that all the time" is not essential. Commas do not do the job.
