my all-time biggest grammar peeves:
(since we are having a little rant)


1) GOTTEN is not a word.
2) Neither is IRREGARDLESS
3) it is "et cetera", not "ek cetera"

When I hear these, I just cringe... although I just smile and don't say a word! Although I have to confess that even I slip a "gotten" in once in a while. Once you start listening for it, you will see -- people use it ALL the time!
