minor irritants

Grammar whining:

alot (should be a lot)
noone (should be no one)
unowned gerunds really (and quite illogically) upset me


I know: whine, whine, whine...

So what is an unowned gerund? I know what a gerund is, but not an unowned one.

Also, I'm so with you on grammar pet peeves. There/their/they're is one of my biggest. Its/It's as well, though I do sometimes do that when I'm typing too fast. To/Too. Etc. :)
