People misusing apostophes. Seriously, how hard is that? If it's plural you DO NOT use one, if it's possessive you DO.

So it's "Lots of great offers!" NOT "Lot's of great offer's!"

Even worse is when people can't decide and don't put anything in, or use the old "apostrophe after an s or not" idea (which, to be fair, can be a little hard to understand).

Also, this idea of saying something costs "one nine nine"! Are people really that stupid that you have to take the "hundred and" out of it, not to mention the currency? Or that much in a hurry?

Oh, and text speak! God how I hate that!
