Guest wake Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Some of mine: Using 'literally' as an intensifier. Irregardless. I could care less. Now share your favorites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Calx Sherbet Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 the literally one, yes i hate that too. "i could care less". why even say that? just go balls to the wall and say "i couldn't care less". much more effective and insulting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremymacgregor87 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 they're, their, there | it's, its | too, to | we're, were | you're, your also, "defs". fuck you if you can't be arsed spelling out the whole word. and fuck you more if you truncate the word because you aren't sure if it's "definitely" or "definately". and I'm with Calx on the "I could" situation.

modey Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 lol, is it solely an australian thing? i guess adding "o" to a shortened name/word is pretty australian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 'I can't wait 'til (add set occasion here)'. Well, what are you going to do about it? Unless you've got a time-machine, you're going to have to wait. Obviously, '110%' is also an annoyance. Maths doesn't work that way. 70% of my job is proof-reading and it all just washes over me now. I'm a correction-machine. The sign outside my favourite curry house needs an apostrophe, one day maybe I'll correct that. Oh, and how does everyone feel about decades? 80's or 80s? I've started going with the latter as I think it makes more grammatical sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary C Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Sweet. Same with DJs instead of DJ's. In honesty, they look better with an apostrophe, but I'm a travel-brochure pedant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a correction-machine. hah! i'm about to start a job doing corrections, but i'm already the guy at my current work who spots typos when nobody else does! Oh, and how does everyone feel about decades? 80's or 80s? I've started going with the latter as I think it makes more grammatical sense. definitely 80s. no apostrophe. you don't say eightie's!

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 All the mentioned ones irritate me. I was in a restaurant where they had a neon sign saying "Live DJ's" flashing in my line of sight for the whole time I was there. It drove me crazy, not only the strange use of the world live which didn't serve any purpose, but of course the nasty little apostrophe. When people say 'real' instead of 'really'; like 'I had a real nice day'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My particular pet peeve is when the combined word has no different meaning. I don't mind portmanteaus like spork or blaxploitation cause they're both awesome.
