To hate people who don’t know the difference between is and are.

“There is loads of issues”

NO

There ARE

Is= singular
are=plural

It’s not fucking hard!!!!!

Hate is a pretty strong emotion for grammatical errors.

Have a

Not the only grammatical error in common parlance. Different from some of the others though, not different to.

Dear me, you need to rain () yourself in a bit.

I don't often hear this one.

You HATE them? Really?

I agree OP. This Pacific example pisses me right of 😉

Yabu.

You could borrow them a grammer book?

Dear me, you need to rain (grin) yourself in a bit.

Behave.

Oh no.... my brain are hurting

Mate I’ve just spotted your username

Time was you’d have been gutted like a fish having a username like that. Old cod would have had you with the pramhuns and the baby modellers

You should learn them proper

A bit strong . But I particularly dislike would of, could of instead of would have, could have but I think one day that will be the lingo

Hate are a very strong word OP.

OK, you tell me: his whereabouts are unknown or his whereabouts is unknown??
Saw one in a newspaper and thought it sounded strange

This kind of thread really gets on my wick.

Harsh sentiment OP, but I’m broadly with you.

Number v quantity is the usual guide.

Money’s difficult though: “I have £10 less than her”, or “I have £10 fewer than her”?

The ones I see more frequently are 'was' and 'were' eg "we was in the queue..."

and 'a' instead of 'an' before a vowel eg "I saw a elephant"

Inside I groan, but I realise the poster may have dyslexia or something, or could be struggling to write on a smartphone. Life's too short to give it head space. I certainly don't hate people, we all make mistakes occasionally.

@Poca Miseria, I'd say his whereabouts are unknown as whereabouts is plural. If the word had been location (singular) however, it would be his location is unknown.

Some of these kinds of things are dialect. Just because people say them doesn't mean they don't know how to write them/what the grammatical rules are.

They should of gone to school. That one over their. (Op’s Head explodes)

DH and I sat on the sofa to partake in a little culture earlier and the tv announcer said 'where is Louise and Keanu?' just before the cultural extravaganza began.
DH and I were, like, 😳

The "is/are" error is well-lodged in everyday use. Unfortunately. Don't feel hate but am sad it's leaked into newsbroadcasts

I blame the jeans advert: "There's rivets, and there's Levi's rivets." I used to sneer, "There are rivets, ya moron!"

It was the first time I'd seen sub-literate stuff, in writing yet, on the TV.

Here it is:

I worked with someone who would say ‘remember me to do that?’ If you forgot she’s say ‘toy were meant to remember me!’ Aaaargh ‘remind!’

I have a lovely friend who says 'was you...'

She now has 3 children who do the same.

I don't hate her though.
