[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grammar peeves have been covered, but a sort of grammar-adjacent peeve I have in is making something possessive when it shouldn't be. Example, "I'm going to stop by Nordstrom's after work." It's just Nordstrom. If they wanted it to be Nordstrom's they would have named it that like Bloomingdale's and Macy's. [/quote] It’s even worse when people refer to “Aldi’s.” There is no Mr. Aldi!!!! I believe that ALDI is an acronym.[/quote] I dislike that too. One of my neighbors always says "Costco's," and it drives me nuts. I will also add another peeve, which is people who randomly capitalize letters. I work in government and regularly observe this style in letters from constituents. For example, "We must correct this Injustice. Action is required to Stop this interference with our Basic Rights." Why?[/quote]
