Pet Peeves - Your Turn

by

At some point next month, I’m having a birthday. I’m a bit apathetic when it comes to the day, but any excuse for a contest, right?

Yes, a contest. I’ll be giving away a $20 amazon gift certificate to the lovely person who sends me the best pet peeve.

The rules are:

*Entries must be sent via the “contact me” button on the right (unless you know my email address, then you can send it via email)
*Entries must be in by August 10th at midnight Australia time. There are a lot of world clocks on the internet. Find one and figure out your deadline where you are.
*The winner will be announced on Tuesday the 14th and must be willing to send me their email address and links to your sites/blogs (preferably with the submission to save time), and the winning entry will be featured on that post as that week’s Pet Peeve.
*You cannot use any Pet Peeves I have listed in the past. Look at the category to double check.
*The pet peeve MUST be related to writing in some way.
*This contest is open to everyone, though preference will be given to non-451 submissions in the event of a tie.
*The judges will be me and my husband. Be warned, he’s almost as picky as I am when it comes to writing, so bad spelling/grammar/etc on your submission could be grounds for disqualification.

Enjoy!
