is another peeve of mine as well. People just don't think when they write. I guess some blame falls on the school system, and perhaps some on the wiring in people's brains that they can't help, but sadly I think a lot of the blame falls on people just not caring.
However I was taught back in school made me FEEL the way words go together, somehow, which makes me extra sensitive when word structures don't feel right.
"People" is a new one to me, though - I had never heard that before. Interesting.
