And whiskey makes me forget my fart jokes in case you were waiting on one. And I love predictive text.
That get on your nerves. For me its idiots that say "nip it in the butt" instead of nip it in the BUD and those morons that say "for all intensive purposes" instead of INTENTS AND purposes. I don't know why that annoys me so much.

"Please advise." That's not correct English grammar.
This thread is nerve wrecking.

2, to and too, people tend to pronounce all dem "two" especially female speakers imho. *no racist*
saying YOUR INSTEAD OF YOU'RE
i wanna punch something everytime someone does this
Sounds the same to me when I hear it.
Why? Because I bombardment this place with fart jokes? Shutyer assup
For all intensive porpoises.
see what I'm saying?
There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee...that says, fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again.
When people haven't mastered enough English to relate two concepts with clauses, prepositions, etc:
"As far as concepts1 is concerned, blah concept2 blah blah."
And even worse is when the "is concerned" is dropped.
"As far as concept1, blah concept2 blah blah."
And then there are TO MANY words and expressions that get used by people who can't manage anything but run their brains in the same ruts with same hackneyed, faddish phrases they pick up from TV.
signage
wake up call
worst nightmare
that's what I'm talkin about
you know what I'm sayin?
my bad
excuse me?
etc, etc, etc ad nauseam.
But my absolute worst is the vocal affectation of the mostly American "glottal fry". Where the did that get started? and how the does any male or female think that an affectation that improves their "brand"
When men do it, I guess they think they have an authoritative, masculine basso profundo, like Barry White, but they really sound effeminate followers of fashion and like they've got damaged vocal cords. No basso, no profundo.
The guy who had a great ear for and was best at ridiculing takedowns of repulsively silly language:

I dislike hearing people mix up pronouns, like "She gave Max and I a gift" instead of "Max and me"; "Me and Max are going to the mall" instead of "Max and I"; and "EveryONE (singular!!) needs to return their (plural) pencils" instead of "return his or her pencils".
I also get mildly annoyed when people use words whose definitions they clearly don't know, like travesty, empathy, etc, etc, ad nauseum.
I used to work with a guy who was notorious for saying stupid . His name was Gary and I started calling his sayings "Garyisms".
Here are a few:
Six and a half in one dozen in the other
They don't know anything, all they have is information from the past and present
I'm going to check that fuse to see if it's good, bad or otherwise indifferent
That's neither here nor there nor anywhere else
He would ask a question "so how does that work?" and I would tell him and he would say "oh I know", then proceed to tell me how it worked and I would correct him and he starts repeating my words.
Then there's this gem that many people say:
irregardless
I have also heard "electronical" and that make me want to smack someone.
When sports figures preface or end every sentence with "you know".
When girls use the word "like" before every sentence.
As far as posting, I don't care. If I can understand what they mean and phonetically it's discernible, that's good enough.
Saying ex cetera instead of et cetera. That bothers me a little bitl.
