Should of/could of/ would of. NO!!!

It's: "should've," short for: "should have."

Apos'trophe's everywhere and anywhere there's an S in a word.

Not quite a valid, blanket statement: it's versus its.
Is not becoming pedantic about the correctness of the punctuation,tense and the minutiae of the sentence blinding us to the intent of the message?
Happy New Year to all my aviation-oriented colleagues at AvCanada!

"Should've went" ??
What happened to "I should have gone" or at least "I should've gone" ?

One pet peeve I have is when salaries are posted TBD! I was looking at the job forum and I noticed the Detection pilot job, they posted that they wanted a minimum of 1000 tt and 100 PIC. They know the minimums that they want out of the pilots that are applying so why not post a salary so the applicants have an idea what they are going to be paid. They know damn well a 747 captain is not going to apply, it's the 1000 hour guys/gals who want to build multi time( I know it's a push pull but it's still multi time) that are after that job(s). Just had to get that off my mind. DHC

To be fair DHC, what company wants to post a job ad, and then have all the people come on to slag their pay scale, or post that pilots should not be paid more etc...they can bring it up immediately when they call those they are intersted in hiring so a pay decision can be made. but face it, in this, I 'll work for dog food and pay for a PPC if I think it will advance my carreer, I think in 2012 we might see jobs ads that say remumeration...the company may not consider the highest or any bid for the job....

oh....My pet peeve is people who stray from the thread topic....Happy New Year-
BTW... I have a list of 197 more of my pet peeves, but I did not want to post it, as it might then be able to be used as evidence.

Mine is people who don't know whether to spell remuneration correctly or incorrectly (but commonly) renumeration so make up their own version.

Seriously though, there really is no benefit for companies to post salaries. It's a very easy thing to find out if you are actually serious about a position and also only one aspect of whether or not the job is right for you.

Automobile licence plate frames....... why is everyone driving around with those on their rear plates??? It's the biggest scam going by the car dealers. And everyone is oblivious to it.

People! You're driving around with advertising on your six. At the very least you should be charging the dealer for his advertising. Sheeesh.

And the cheeky one I saw here was shen the wife took her car into an independant shop for service, and they without telling her switched the dealer frame for theirs.

That's pretty low. I once knew a fellow that bought a brand new truck from a dealership and explicitly told them not to put their dealership badge on the tailgate. They did it anyway, so he returned the truck for a refund!

Why must people plural their callsign? Calm Air"s" is another guilty party. If I was a controller for just one day, I'd be calling them out left right and centre.. "ummm Air Canada/Calm Air/whatever. Check your flightplan is filed with a "1" in the number field. Please confirm if there is more than 1 of you."

Messages that read as though they were punched out on a smart phone from under a teenage girl's desk while she should have been paying attention in class.
