    I get really tired by the use of the f word in conversation. I like to poke fun at the misuse of grammar and enjoy 6Sally6’s vernacular.

    I hate
    “dessert” v s “desert”
    One is sweet, the other is dry.
    Pronounced and spelled completely wrong for the conventions of the King’s English. I have to stop and think about it.

    Re: Can’t stand it any more

    My biggest might be "impacted" used to refer to the past tense of "impact".  The issue is that "impacted" is an adjective, not a verb.  You can have an "impacted" tooth, but the asteroid cannot be described as having "impacted" Earth.  The asteroid made impact on (or upon) Earth.  I hear supposedly educated people use it wrong all the time.  And speaking of misuse/mispronunciation, the third word in the previous sentence doesn't have a B in it!

    The other one I hate it irregardless.  That's not a word.  You mean to say "regardless" or "irrespective".  The prefix "ir" means without, so "irregardless" decodes to "without a lack of regard", essentially a double negative.  The thing that really drives me nuts about it is I often feel people use it to try and sound smart.

    One manager I worked for would get very annoyed if anyone used 'irregardless" (among other words).  He'd chastise the entire engineering section if someone said it with "I know engineers aren't English majors but you need to speak, and write correctly".
