is there any one slang word that you find more annoying than others?
theyre all pretty annoying when used constantly, but otherwise im fine with them.
when you blog, do you worry about grammar, punctuation and spelling?
i try to pay attention to grammar and such, but i dont freak out if i later notice ive misspelled something. i may correct it, i may not. and though i dont fret about missing apostrophes from conjunctions, i will often pause to consider if a colon or a semi-colon would be more appropriate; i take pride in my semi-colon use.
what's one commonly mispronounced word that just drives you nuts?
depth, width, and heighth. b says it all the time. heighth heighth heighth. one by a coworker is 'strenth' without the 'g'.

for me it's "ask" instead of "asked". i used to work with a woman who would constantly say something like "i ask you to do it yesterday" or "i ask him if i could borrow that". she's a very intelligent, educated woman, and yet she never says "asked".
