i'm so anal about spelling and grammar
i can spot a "definate" or a missing comma at 200 yards. i also hate principal when it should be principle, effect/affect being mixed up, morons who try to argue that "premises" is a singular word, american spellings of words like judgment (the courts do not say judgEment, therefore neither can you), people who simply cannot use apostrophes, and smileys.
