Certain phrases are bothering me...

2. The annoying fad of commenting on a perfectly innocuous statement such as "The weather is nice today", by stating "It is TOO!!!" in an argumentative and contradictory tone of voice. Oh, I hate that fad.
It turns a simple conversation into a bewildering confrontation, and I really wonder what power-mongering person ever started that fad, and why people think they are cute when they adopt it into their conversation.

Thankfully, I haven't had the 'pleasure' of encountering that particular fad yet. I think I'd be tempted to harm the person.

I hate it when people start sentences with "So".

Guilty! I do this all the time.

[Lynn49]

GAH!

I absolutely hate: I seen that.
It's: "I SAW that."!!! At the very least.

I just heard it again on tv in an interview of some random person...when did this become so acceptable?!! Does no one correct them?!

I'm fine. I've settled down now. Inhale....exhale...

my mom writes 'tought' instead of thought or taught ('tought' is used for both, with her) and it drives me bonkers.

[bug]

Should of
Could of
Would of

Geeyarghh!!!!

I don't mind it when people pronounce it this way.

But I fear people actually think it is should/could/would "of", instead of should/could/would have, because I have seen this mistake on school papers.

It's seeing it in writing that bugs me, and I see it all the time in my interweb wanderings.

[erin9mmm]

I have another one....
saying sherbert instead of sherbet. There is only one "r" not 2.

[Lynn49]

Oh, good one!
Our DD used to say "serburt" so I still say it that way in fun...

[GoJays]

It rankles me when, speaking of age, people say 23 going on 24 (or whatever age)... well no frickin' DUH!! They're not going backwards! If they're close to their birthday, why can't people say 'i'm going to be 24 in a few days'.. or simply say 'i'm 23'?? GRRRR

[walkonby]

I want to be 23 again.....or 24, either will do

[Lynn49]

Oh, nooooooooooooooooo!!! Not those 20s!!!
I loved my 30s and 40s....and would love to return to them.
Even my 50s look good from this vantage point!!!

I hate when people use internet slang in real life. I actually heard someone say LOL out loud. WTH is that?

My biggest problem is my husband from playing xbox live, we have so much made up slang floating around here now

Noobs-new ppl on xbox
Spammers-ppl who repeat the same move in a game by hitting the button multiple times
LOL I hear these words 1000 times per day. I also hear other words too, some sort of mix between British swearing and Canadian swearing. OMG!

[GoJays]

should of
could of
would of
OMG!!!
it's should HAVE
would HAVE
could HAVE

also the poor, poor usage of the word 'seen'
i seen him over there... NO! YOU DIDN'T!! you SAW him over there!

[TudorChick]

does anyone say w-e-d-n-e-s-d-a-y or do they wendsday,because i pronounce it the latter..i Know how it is spelled but i still pronounce it a certain way..

the only time i correct people is when i know they have absolutely done wrong such as saying "there really good people". that is obviously wrong.it is "they're really good people".

my husband has a speech impediment and also is from another country so i hear him say things wrong all the time.he is constantly asking me how to spell.i guess i just don't see why it bothers people so much,is all.
