Did you like grammar ?

I'm not a native English speaker but I hate bad grammar. I've been using English since I was young. I can tolerate mistakes in bits and pieces but if I often hear subject and verb mismatch it annoys me. Even in this forum, I sometimes try to get used to the less formal use of the language. I understand though that most users in this forum aren't native speakers. It actually helps most practice their English/grammar skills.

Same. I'm not a native English speaker either, but I have been learning and using English since kindergarten since I was born and raised in the U.S. (my first language was Vietnamese due to my home environment), and while I understand that not everyone here is a native English speaker, some of the simple grammar mistakes I see on here (and around the internet in general) annoy me. Like why do so many people insert an apostrophe before the -s when pluralizing words (for example: which kpop artist's do you like)? Apostrophes are only supposed to be used to show possession or contraction, not to pluralize words.

IKR! I was so strict with myself before with the use of punctuation marks but I kind of loosen up a bit. Sometimes I think I'm forgetting proper grammar after using this forum. I don't like it when people use 'irregardless'. I can't accept it even though some would say it is an informal word. I also hate it when people say/type 'their' instead of 'they're' (for they are). In my mind, I correct them with the proper words to understand their thoughts.
