For example;

"but surely that is the point, no?"

It just comes across as so bloody smarmy.

Feel free to kick me in the head for this, this is AIBU.

Ah, but some of you weren't pedantic enough to spot the deliberate spelling error, no?

Oh the iroony of correcting someone's misuse of an apostrophe when you have used four full stops in your ellipsis rather than three

It irritates me but it's not like I lose sleep over it more of a momentary shudder.

What's more irritating is people who use a grammatical or spelling error to take the piss out of someone they don't agree with.

But we're all agreed that anyone using 'babe' or 'hun' should be shot, yesno?
