It's 'AN', not 'AND'

If I see one more doofus using the word *and* in place of *an* I will have an aneurysm. Example: I need *and* amp.

Now that you mention it I see that a LOT here :/. I really don't know why it's such a common mistake either. Grammatically, it makes absolutely no sense and physically it's a entirely unnecessary key press. It's a mystery I tells ya'! A mystery!

Exactly! I mean, it's not what I'd call a typo or misspelling, as it requires an additional, unneccesary letter. I also hate when people use the can and don't flush, even if it's merely #1. Disgusting.

It bugs me when folks mix "their" with "they're" - especially in the thread title. (Like it won't be a total hassle to try and figure out what the OP wants. )

I don't think you should capitalize the word "professor".
I don't know for sure.
That's what irks me about English grammar, you need to capatilize more words than I need in my native language.
German is even worse.
