When people say "anyways."


The correct use is "anyway."

Basically all of the above. Also, you're/your is probably the biggest one for me, with should of/should have a close second. I cannot stand either and I constantly wonder how people can be so stupid. We learned this stuff in elementary school.

Wow. Where do I start? So many good ones mentioned already.

Literally..........way over used and not in the right way.

To make a long story short...........when that is said, you better grab a chair

I seen..................just drag your nails across the chalkboard

The silent H.............as in "an historical"......NO!...we are not British.......it's "a historical"...and if you don't say it right........I will send you to "an" hospital!!

irregardless............tell the dude it's not a word, then make a bet, then produce a dictionary.

reverse racism?....how about hate crime?..........a crime is a crime........like Cartman said about the lesson he learned, "if you're going to throw a rock at someone during recess, make sure your target is someone of your own race."

And finally for now....................Belly35isms! :D

Not speaking, but the above pisses me off to no end.



Another (seems to be more of an Appalachian/hilljack part of Ohio issue) is to take the verbs "to see" (as previously mentioned here) and "to say" and only use one conjugation for any situation.

"I seen that you called me yesterday"
"I was talking to my brother yesterday, and he says that the Browns are going to win by 50 this weekend, and then I says he was retarded"


For those who hate the term "literally", I leave you this

I have a passionate disgust for people who say "I love it" in reference to every single scenario that is presented to them. There is a girl at my work who does this. What's even worse is when the phrase is sung out loud like in a Trisha Yearwood song. "Loooovvee itttt!" I imagine this is why God invented throat cancer.

Really, you love everything? Do you love it that Mary in human resources has a tumor the size of a tennis ball? No? Then STFU.

One that I've heard recently, but used a lot and VERY often, is "unlucky."

It's a pretty common term by many soccer peoples. But, everything cannot be "unlucky." Actually, many things aren't "unlucky." There are good defensive plays. There are good attacking situations. Just because your team either sucked or did something wrong does not mean it was "unlucky."

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

I'm doing WELL.
Lol. My mom beat that saying out of me so fast growing up. I've used well/good correctly since I was 7. I agree though, it's a tough, yet annoying one to fix.

On accident when it should be by accident. It surprises me how many people don't know that one.

Maybe just a generational thing, but using "shut up" as an expression of surprise. This was a term considered to be extremely rude when I shared the earth with the dinosaurs.

Not so much a pet peeve, because it is a very tough part of the English language to understand IMO, but it would be nice of people knew when to use "I" and when to use "me".

For you, and the poster above who originally pointed this one out, send users of this imaginary word to this web page and their stupidity should be fully explained to them.
