Grammar Girl’s Top 5 Grammar Pet Peeves of 2008

Grammar Girl has just released her annual list. I confess the number one peeve is a new one on me, but I’ve seen similar uses, and they’re plenty horrifying.

5. Carelessness

4. “Myself”

3. “Tap”

2. “Baby Bump”

1. “Slay”

She misses that “tap” is also slang for “to have sex with,” which makes a lot of those political headlines very amusing when you’re tired and punchy.
