Teams lose, your mom is loose.*

I hate lol with a passion. I hate LOL even more.
It's one thing when a person honestly doesn't know how to spell a word. It's a whole other thing when people use "teenager-text type"!

Although I do get mad with the whole "irregardless isn't a word!" diatribe. It's a rare and archaic usage, but it's legitimate.

see, if a person is British and doesn't pronounce the initial H on a word, then saying "an historic" makes perfect sense. You use "an" when there's no consonant on the beginning of the next word.
What bugs the hell out of me is Americans who DO pronounce the H using "an historic" in an effort to be pretentious.

I really only have one writing vice...
Overuse of ellipses?
