I once had an application for a casual staff position from a person whose recreational activity was writting!
"Try and...", as in, Try and find it. Or, try and catch me; instead of "try to", drives me nuts. And maybe even more so, "At", as in, Where are you at? Or, Where is it at? Drives me banana cakes!!

I go bonkers over “nucular”, “fustrate”, “irregardless” & “ supposably”…

@perrone1 Calm down Tony. Take a ride in your M B and let us know where you are "at".
I suppose my #1 complaint would be the misuse of homonyms - or the misspelling thereof. For instance: "I'll meat you this afternoon." OR "Sam noticed that to." OR "It's there choice." OR "Tim noted that he would by 6, not 7 of those." OR "George said it was you're choice, so leave when you want."
Etc., etc., etc..... Not unlike Tony, I too become instantly frustrated - these little mistakes make a maniac out of me. 😬 😬 😠 😠 😡 🤬
@chris Chris, like Tony, take a ride and let us know "you're" choice of vehicles.
LOL Chris! I do get perturbed over some of these things, especially when done by, so-called, professionals. TV reporters, for instance. But what does make me maniacal is when I catch myself saying them! AAARRRRGGGHHHHHHH!I suppose my #1 complaint would be the misuse of homonyms - or the misspelling thereof.

When someone says “Intformation” I want to inform them that there’s only one “t” in that word, and I’ll never understand the constant overuse of “like”.

Grammar is dead in our world. We no longer have any professionalism attached to proper grammar and public speaking. They don't teach it in school anymore, another travesty. Honestly, I've no idea why our kids go to school anymore. They don't don't learn to write, read, or learn math. I'm not exaggerating.

I also despise the “Jersey-ese” - things like “we were E-N dinner” & “press the buh-N” & “he was hih-ing me”…grrrr!
