One of my pet-peeves is capitol vs capital. And one I see more often in comments about books rather than in books: "sneak peak" (Is there a mountaintop sneaking up to you?)
Then there's authors revealing they don't understand the words they use by adding redundancy, like...
"a capital crime, punishable by death" - That's what "capital crime" means.
"brine water" - Brine is salt water.
Oh, and using "thee" in subject case. I've meanwhile found out that is the usage among some groups of Amish, but it still sounds wrong...
Anybody know a good website explaining comma use? That's something I know I'm rarely sure about.
