Slow walkers, the sound of people chewing, heavy breathers, cracking knuckles, people who don’t pay you back, loud snorers – the list is endless.
But if there’s one pet peeve that seems to grind gears the most, it’s bad grammar.
There’s two types of people in the world, those with bad grammar and those who correct bad grammar. And if you’d consider yourself to be the latter, someone who’s always picking people up on their choice of ‘there’, ‘their’, or ‘they’re’, then there’s a new card game that your bound to stand a good chance of winning.
And if you managed to spot the grammar error in that last paragraph, then you’re already half way there.

“Commonly found texts are displayed for you to identify the grammar and spelling mistakes. Get into teams – preferably with your biggest grammar geeks and nerds – and become your grammar teacher from school.”
The game description warns: “Be careful, though, as the English language is a cruel mistress, and you will experience epic levels of frustration when you can’t find the last mistake.”
Grammar Police is said to be a game “suitable for the whole family”, and is currently retailing on Amazon for £9.95.

“I need this. Nothing is worse than bad grammar,” one person commented.
Another added: “This is so needed. My inner pedant was screaming the other day when I did a feedback survey ‘Where the facilities good?’ Ahhh.”

A sustainable vintage fashion shop and kilo sale is popping up in a Greater Manchester town in a couple of days time.
And all the proceeds will go to a very-worthy charity.
Merely weeks after the UK’s largest vintage market descended on the iconic Victoria Baths in Manchester city centre, another sustainable fashion event will be popping up in one of the region’s popular shopping centres for the month.
British Heart Foundation will be hosting a brand-new pop-up shop and vintage kilo sale, where you can buy clothing and other goods at a fixed price per kilogram, in Stretford town centre.
Opening its doors this Saturday (5 April), the charity will be taking over the vacant unit that’s next door to JD Sports to provide the Stretford community with a charity shop filled with all sorts of vintage goods and thrifty finds.
Visitors will be able to sift through shelves stacked with major brands at bargain prices, making it the perfect way to sustainably stock up on wardrobe staples and revamp ready for spring.

Running right through until 19 April, this venture is set to be a massively-valuable new addition to Stretford town centre.

Jack Grealish dedicates first league goal in 16 months to late brother on anniversary of his death
Danny Jones
Manchester City star Jack Grealish held back the tears following his first Premier League goal in more than 16 months, but not in relief after breaking the duck, because it came on a very emotional day for him and his family.
The Man City and England midfielder opened the scoring in the Blues’ 2-0 win against Leicester City on Wednesday night, bringing an end to his goal drought after a total of 473 days.
But what made it even more special is that the game happened to coincide with the anniversary of his late brother Keelan’s death.
Speaking in his post-match interview after picking up the man of the match award, Grealish was in a noticeably quieter mood than his usual charismatic self before revealing that the day marked the 25th anniversary of his younger sibling’s death.

The 29-year-old went on to reveal that the date coincided with Keelan’s passing and acknowledged that it’s “hard on the family but [I’m] happy to score”.
His mum and dad, Karen and Kevin, were up in the stands; it doesn’t need explaining why scoring in that particular moment was so special for all of them.
Clearly stirred by addressing what was a bittersweet occasion, he signed off by adding, “To score and to win was brilliant.”
Keelan Daniel Grealish was just nine months old when he tragically passed away from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) back in 2000 – ‘Super Jack’ was just four at the time.
Paying tribute on social media after the game, the comments below his post were filled with love and support.
Besides the goal itself, the former Aston Villa star was keen to reiterate that he was never brought to the club to score bags of goals and “has a lot more to offer” than just hitting the back of the net.
Touching on his Grealish’s game and the tribute to Keelan during his post-match duties, manager Pep Guardiola went on to add: “Jack is an incredible human being; in terms of gestures and for the other people, he’s incredibly generous.
“I didn’t know that [it was the anniversary of his brother’s death]. I can’t imagine how tough it could be for mum, dad, sister, and all the family. It’s good on this day to remember him, I’m pretty sure they remember every single day.”
A lovely moment from a much-loved character around the Eithad Stadium as well as up and down the country. Rest in peace, Keelan.
