Not sure if serious or sarcasm, but yes, I do.

Then again, I have a passion for writing, etymology and linguistics, so...

Glad to hear so. It's just that I've heard that sentiment expressed sarcastically so often that I automatically start wondering.

*gigglensort* Ling likes LINGuistics. /brick'd

I'm not into linguistics. I just like to get my English right. There have been circles less kind than Mene where I was considered a member of the Grammar Police. I was one of THOSE people. Mene's too nice for that.

I also love learning languages for no reason.

One of my least favorites is when someone doesn't know how to use "loose" and "lose."

I'm a bit more forgiving of that one when it comes to non-native speakers, but yes, that one's annoying.
I absolutely detest the far-too-common misspelling "grammer".

Great responses to that I've seen:
"Leave your grandma out of this!"
"What? Kelsey Grammer?"

Also, while it's almost always a non-native speaker making that mistake, folks who seemingly can't tell the difference between "bored" and "boring".

I haven't seen that! However, confusing "bored" and "board" gets on my nerves.

Also, "alot". Though this little 2010 blog made that one less gets-on-nerves and more

Oh, and randomly missing commas.
Ran into a few of those earlier today.

As far as I know, "I know me too" is still a way of saying you are somewhat familiar with yourself, not that you agree.
