What's the deal with people?

So, some of you may know that I'm not really the #1 fan of my job right now. I thought I'd take a moment to vent a little on this post. I'm trying to keep my posts positive, but I figured I'll just take a couple of moments to let out some of the mean things I want to say during the day.
In order to really understand why I'm going to vent what I will, you need to know that I have a BA in English. I've always loved writing and truly believe that you can make either a great impression, or tell the world what a blundering idiot you are with poor communication and grammar. So since everyone at work is trying their best to point out what I do poorly, I thought that I would take a moment to note some of the grammatical FOE PAWS I have noticed lately:
1. "It's even worst!"
2. "Rediculous!" Can't decide which is more- the misspelling, or that he was trying to use this to make us feel incompetent by saying the situation was such....
3. "The customer was trying to make a princible only payment." Not sure what that is- what part of the loan is that?
4. "She did due this on 9/18 and can't anymore" Well no wonder- she can't DUE anything because YUE can't spell!
5. And my favorite- the dangling modifier: "looking through tealeaf Kay is seeing a binding issue" Kay must be clairvoyant or something- she can look through tealeafs!!!

These are only a few that I noted to myself in a matter of seriously a couple of hours. And I'm the one that sucks here, HOW??

Okay- maybe I shouldn't, but I'm going to push the button now... PUBLISH.
