Do you have a language pet peeve?

Question

Please comment the language or speech related thing that annoys you the most or you feel is improper or unacceptable.

Answer

When people spell "their", "there", and "they're" wrong. Or "were", "we're", etc.

Answer

I have a lot. 😂
My biggest is when I hear “I had went to the store.” NO! You “had GONE to the store.”
Hearing someone say “I seen it” and “I had saw it”. Like why do people get so confused when “have/had” is thrown into a sentence? 
Also, when people say “I was suppose to do that”. It’s “supposeD” 🤦🏽‍♀️ same thing with “use to” it’s “useD to”. 
Not knowing the difference between “woman” and “women”. They’re not interchangeable! 1 adult female is a woman. Multiple adult females are women. It bugs me so much when I see “I’m a women.” No you are not!
This isn’t directed at people who have a learning disability, people who couldn’t focus on school because their Home lives were so bad, or people who didn’t grow up speaking English. My pet peeves are directed at people who had the opportunity to go to elementary school and learn all of this but ignored everything.

Answer

People who use double negatives!!! Omfg I hate it more than improper grammar. Like when someone says “I didn’t say nothing” or “I didn’t do nothing”

Answer

Incorrect grammar makes me cringe. When I was a child, I annoyed people because I was so eager to correct them. As an adult, I realize people don’t care to be corrected and I just let it be.

Answer

"Axe" instead of ask....

Answer

1. People saying generally instead of genuinely
2. When people don't know that it's a chest of DRAWERS not 'draws, 😑😑😑

Answer

First of all English is not my first language. I make a loooot of mistakes talking and writing. But something that it’s hard for me and makes me a little frustrated it’s when African Americans talk to me. Most of the times I can’t understand them. Also happens with “country” people.

Answer

When people say “I seen it” instead of “I saw it” It makes me cringe for some reason.

Answer

My boss says “in regards to” all. the. time. I’ve been tempted to keep a tally of how many times he says it in a meeting. Also the use of “irregardless” and using “of” when it should be “have” (could of vs could have). 
It’s okay to not know all of the nuances or rules and reasons behind various usage. Some of them are obscure. But it’s not okay to butcher the language. Like it or not, judgments are cast based on one’s mastery of language. Does one need to be able to define a past participle? Probably not. Should one know when to use “saw” and when to use “seen”? Absolutely.

Answer

When people are talking about math and instead of saying multiply, they say “times.” Especially when they use it as a verb.
“You take x and then you times it with-“ ugh.
Other than that- I think grammar policing is maddd annoying.
