One thing that, in particular, annoys me is improper use of the "subjunctive." It's rare, but it needs to be used properly. It's "if I WERE in your position," not "if I WAS in your position." They don't even teach this little gem of grammar in grade school anymore, at least not since I went. I know people might get confused and think "were" is plural, but not in the subjunctive.
Oh, there is a HUGE difference! We hide a lot of NJ from people who are just passing on through OR NY'ers looking to move here!
I don't think they really teach much grammar, period, these days.
They apparently don't teach common courtesy these days.
