I can’t even read half the responses because I’m about to break out in hives.
“I SEEN” as opposed to “I saw.” My SIL does this all the time and I cringe. Every. Single. Time.
My mom says “I haven’t ate yet.” My response is always, “You mean you haven’t eaten yet?”
Another is when someone says they’re “itching” something. Nope, you are in fact SCRATCHING an itch.
Could care less vs. couldn’t care less.
An ongoing joke in my family is when someone says “same difference.” It is maddening. They know I loathe it, and they continue to say it. And laugh. The only logical way this makes sense is if you are comparing two items and they, in fact, have the same property that makes them unique from something else. This does not apply when you are making a general statement about something being SIMILAR. Blows my mind.
General mispronunciation of words. A coworker of mine genuinely thought vicinity started with an “f.” Also, affidavit was pronounced “alpha.”
Per se and per say is yet another.
When someone says they are “weary” of something, meaning they are hesitant. Nope, you mean wary or leery. You can’t mix the two. It is not a puggle and/or a Brangelina.
Rant over. I need a Valium.
*If I posted something either grammatically incorrect or misspelled, I apologize. It’s because I read through 3 pages of nonsense prior to posting and my brain is crying.
