Answer 8

Yes, I do.

I am sixteen years old and in my opinion the only person I know my age, or older who still uses correct grammar and punctuation.

It is extremely frustrating!

The only thing I can do is lead by example.

My pet annoyance is when people use double adjectives for example "that's more funnier" rather then "that's funnier" or that's more funny". I just can't stand it. At least I know I am not alone.
