    When someone says:

    "I would have went."
    "I could care less."
    "Welp, now you've done it."  When did "welp" become acceptable for "well?"
    "All of the sudden."

      “My ant Theresa was born in Souf Carolina.”

      “I had looked* to see if the bus was coming up the street.” *Pronounced as a two-syllable word instead of one.

    While it may not be considered a grammatical error, I find it ... um ... "annoying" when a sentence lacks syntax.  Examples -

    "Would you meet me by the?"


    "Fall mint before the you next Tuesday."

    Your first example is an incomplete sentence, which is a kind of grammatical error.

    I dislike the misuse of reflexive pronouns. "If you have any questions, call my assistant or myself."
