Unless you mean to correct it by saying "Off what grammatical errors really piss you?" ...just kidding, but if the usage of "what" in my title is incorrect, then please explain to me how that is the case.

From: Google-searched which vs. what
“What is the best way to explain…?” What is used to ask a question when there are an unknown number or infinite possibilities for an answer. You know that there are many, many ways that exist to address your question, and you want to find out—from all those possibilities that you might not even know about—what the best way is."

"You can use which when you have a very small or limited field to choose from."

A lot of people say "Her and I went to the movies" instead of "She and I..." That one always gets on my nerves. The most annoying phrase that I hear every once in a while is " and what not ." WTF is that?

And just to add, I don't mean grammatical errors that are mistakes or not important, like if I continue this run on sentence or something, then I think it's ok, because I think it is clear that I have a grasp of the English language and though I am running this sentence, I am doing it with a conceptual grasp of the English language.

We all make mistakes in grammar, but this post was to get at the conceptual mistakes people make, not the mistakes people unintentionally make.

there/their/they're your/you're because they're such common mistakes.

And who can forget gems like these: "My friend came to pick up her and I"

PS, I'm probably guilty of the less/fewer, I'm still not sure of the difference.

A friend constantly refers to the advantages or perks that his job has as "french benefits" also says a bad rain storm as "perennial downpour"

Also loose=lose
moran=moron

should of= obv
