I said it almost two months ago and I'll say it again. If that woman tells one more child that he did good in school that day, I'm going to hit her in the back of the head with a textbook.

Actually, learnt it acceptable. It's used instead of learned in the UK.

subjunctive mood
Maybe this is splitting hairs, but it bothers me a smidgen when people say "If I was" instead of "If I were." (Yet, it doesn't bother me when people say "ain't." Go figure.)

It is unacceptable when the person using the word learnt is unaware that it is an actual word. The person knows learned would be the proper pronunciation, but refuses to pronounce the word correctly. This person will also declare "I know it's wrong, but that's how I wanna say it" proudly. He also thinks the "invention of learnt" should be credited to him.

I always figured skrimp was just a typo for scrimp, you know, to save/economize.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but one of the things that drives me crazy is substituting “of” for “have”.
"I should of done my homework earlier"
SHOULD be:
"I should have done my homework earlier"
or...
"I would of invited her if she had been nicer to me"
SHOULD be:
"I would have invited her if she had been nicer to me"

Are you talking about written or spoken?
You do know that "I should've done my homework earlier" sounds like you are saying "of" but you are really saying "have."

Oh, I'm definitely talking about written. I see it done on this site constantly.

^^ my thoughts exactly.
Pacific instead of specific.
Like nails on a chalkboard. Heard it again today and managed to not cringe.

^^ Yea, that's another one that drives me crazy. As if these people have never even seen the word "specific" before. If they had, they probably wouldn't say the word by having it start with a P

I get annoyed everytime I hear a person say that.
My best friend has a bad habit of saying "haffina" as opposed to saying "having to" it drives me nuts and even though I always correct her she still insists on saying it...her reason? Because she feels that since she isn't in a professional setting that she doesn't have to use "proper english".
