I do have pet peeves about writing... I do not like it when people repeat
words when they could have used another, for example "I want to go home, but
theirs nobody home." That sentence bugs me and I don't know why but I can
think of at least four ways to rework it. This especially bugs me when I
myself do it and can not think of another word to use that makes since.
When the thesaurus is also not help I want to get rid of the sentence but
can not because the sentence is needed. I feel like the hole peace is a
failure. I don't know why it bugs me so much it is not grammatically wrong
but I feel like it throes the hole thing off.

I was wondering about pet peeves recently.
Some folks dislike the toothpaste tube being squeezed in a certain way; some
dislike the toilet paper put on the roll one way; and then, towels that are
not folded correctly...and more.
Do you have any pet peeves about writing ?
