What Are Your Grammar Pet Peeves?

We've talked some about pet peeves but lately I've been thinking about grammar pet peeves.

My biggest grammar pet peeve, as you can see from this photo, is got. I place much of the blame on people saying "got" when they really mean "have" on that damn "Got Milk" ad campaign, which seemed to suggest it's perfectly ok to say "got" instead of have.

My most common grammatical mistake – which might well be someone's major grammar pet peeve – is mixing up "then" and "than." Vincent did a good job here of explaining the difference between the two.
