What are yours?

I just saw this one posted on the hockey lock-out and it drives me nuts.

"Could care less". You clearly mean "Couldn't", unless you are trying to say you care a little, which would just be dumb.

Also cannot stand "lacksidasical". There is no "S". It is "lackadaisical".

All of this coming from a Pre Madonna.

There is a Supervisor where I work that constantly uses Set instead of Sit..."Just have them set there". It makes her sound stupid, well stupider.

When Justin says, in his head, "I'm going to ban SVF from this thread". I hate that - it's so annoying.

I don't think I've ever banned you from a thread. So...

I don't like when people say "umm..." a lot.

Overuse and misuse. No, your head didn't "literally explode".

Literally and ironic are 2 words everyone uses but about 15% use correctly.

Agreed. Chewing should only be done with tiny amounts. You should just swallow whole with a mouth full.

It's backed off a lot, but for a while, a team couldn't lose a game without something being "exposed". 99% of the time, all that was exposed was that the opponent was better.

Not a huge pet peeve, but I'm trying to correct myself with this...

When someone asks how you are doing you say what? I'm doing good, right?

I'm doing WELL.
