For me...the misuse of them/those just makes me cringe in disgust.
"Hand me them pliers"
"Will you sell me them cards"
At risk of insulting some here...I apologize.
What grammatical errors make you seethe...or do you just not give 2 sh$ts!?

Peter - I was raised in the South by a highly educated English teacher who would also cringe at those phrases both in written and spoken form.
She taught us to recognize the difference between proper English and anything otherwise pretended to be.
With that in mind, I will take the opportunity to correct you in one case:
It's "Hand me them THAR pliers" not "Hand me them pliers"
I was fixin' to let that go, but decided agin' it.
