My pet peeve is dropping the "ly" ending on adverbs. That is, using adjectives for adverbs. Related to that is good versus well.
My mother collected one of the worst from a rural Texas high school principal who had been the local coach. It was on the loudspeaker on Monday morning after a football game the previous Friday.
"You football boys done real good!" - translated "The football team did really well."
Oh, well. This comes of having a mother who taught grammar for years.

One of the ones that bugs me is the confusion of "their" and "they're"
(and sometimes even "there"). Heck, Mrs. Watson in fourth grade didn't
even let us get away with that. :-)

Well, I have been called a spelling nazi (note the lower case) for my
habit of correcting signs in stores. My pet peeve is misplaced
apostrophes.
