Your post bumped it, and I had the exact same reaction.
I make a lot of mistakes here which I am later horrified by, but I love reading the grammar nerd level of interest in this thread.

I love that this thread was bumped maybe an hour after I changed my signature.
Recent grammar irritation: when people type 'could of' instead of 'could have' or 'could've'. It scares me that people actually think it's OF. aack!

WEARY means you are tired
WARY means you are skeptical
They are NOT THE SAME WORD.

And whenever someone confuses "a part" with "apart", they deserve a lashing with a wet noodle.
I love this meme to underline the importance of punctuation:

My pet peeves:

Not using the correct word: anxious/excited. They do not mean the same thing.
You may be ANXIOUS awaiting your bid on bid day.
You will be EXCITED to see your new sisters.

Not quite the same as grammar abuse, but poor fact-checking sets my teeth on edge. Witness this breaking-news headline from earlier today that someone managed to screenshot before it was corrected:
