Since I have known him (8 1/2 yrs), Mark will not tolerate a text message or email with from me if it contains "text language".You know: lol, omg, btw, luv u, r u ok?, brb, and the others ( I am so out of the loop I don't know half of them). Grammar is not a huge strong point of mine 😦 but having married an English major like yourselves, I have had to keep in line! We are always DELIGHTED to find inappropriate uses of the possessive apostrophe at random convenience stores. We found one in the 2011 IKEA catalogue the other day! Oh my!
"et tu ikea?" hehe – WHAT?Sam has noticed my use of the word "friggen"… I admit, I use it too often!There's nothing like getting married to notice all the "little things" about your spouse. Apparently I also leave cupboards open after I've gotten out what I need(actually… not apparently, it's true, I'm guilty of it), but that's another topic!=0)
"And I was, like …""And then he goes …""And she's like …"Christians who pepper their group prayer contributions with "just" and "really".Also, every time a CBC interviewee starts their answer with, "So, …"Usually on Quirks and Quarks.Saying joolery instead of jewelry.Waitresses and waiters who call us "youse". This negatively impacts their tips.

I'm sure you meant "…for which colloquialisms will you not stand?"*snicker*xo!
I know…dangling preposition. So cruel of me to leave it there, hanging.
As Churchill once said, "Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put."

double negative (example: "I didn't do nothing…") and the confusion of when to use "many" and "much".

I'm 2 afraid to say! Am I allowed to use numbers? 🙂 Tee Hee!!!
Andrew, I wish you could see Mark chuckling at your comment! And I am giggling at David's comment…so funny.
The misuse of "its" and "it's"
Any misuse of their, they're, there. Though most importantly the word "anyway" said "anyways". This cause me to seizure.
