The most annoying grammatical faux pas, IMO, is misuse of the word "your" and the contraction "you're"

For example:

Your going to be sorry you said that.

Your my best friend.

It's time for you're lesson.

Where are you're golf clubs?

Arggggggg!!!!

A brand new college grad hitch-hikes back home. A truck stops, the farmer driving it asks: "Son, where you headin' to?"
Sonny can't resist showing off his newly certified education: "Uh, sir, you really shouldn't end your sentences with a preposition."
Says farmer: "OK... where you headin' to, asshole?"
