It drives me up the wall. I hate it.
But I also feel that there are very few things ruder than calling attention to another person's rudeness. And so with grammar--I'd certainly never go around correcting shop signs or something. I just let it go, as much as it grates sometimes.
Now, I can hear certain of you accusing me of being a "Grammar Nazi." here. I admit, I can't resist if it results in a pun or double entendres.
I could write more on this, but I'm tired. I have another screed coming on that I think may relate this subject to certain TV trends. I'll just finish by saying: the idea that any alleged increase in aggressive pedantry is somehow related to the economy or any other crap that's going on is just silly.
