I'm no grammar nazi (or grammar fascist if you prefer), and definitely not perfect, but there are certain things you should know when writing the English language (ex. they're there their). ESL people are exempt, of course, but only for awhile or if they don't speak English as their new primary language.
What's your biggest pet peeve when it comes to grammar?
Mine is when people put apostrophe's in front of s's when making plural's.

Aside from the above, when people say "try and" instead of "try to."

Commas. People have no idea how to use them.
Also "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less"Don't make a blunda!

Will not drinking my whey after a workout effect my muscle growth?
Look under your chair. YOU GET A REP, AND YOU GET A REP, REPS FOR EVERYONE! If I get a rep, you get a rep, every time. Give me a link to make my life a little easier.
If you don't give me a link and you didn't post in the thread you rep'd me in, I'm not gonna go searching for you. I'll get everyone on recharge.

your/you're
to/too/two
there/their
which/witch
All of the common ones drive me insane. Also repped the OP for apostrophe showing possession. See it so often...

Someone writing this can't even use the typo excuse because it literally shows that you do not know what you are saying.
