^^ my thoughts exactly.

Pacific instead of specific.
Like nails on a chalkboard. Heard it again today and managed to not cringe.

^^ Yea, that's another one that drives me crazy. As if these people have never even seen the word "specific" before. If they had, they probably wouldn't say the word by having it start with a P

Actually, learnt it acceptable. It's used instead of learned in the UK.

subjunctive mood
 

a grown ass man told me he had likeded me. that was sign number 3 that he was not on my level.

It is unacceptable when the person using the word learnt is unaware that it is an actual word. The person knows learned would be the proper pronunciation, but refuses to pronounce the word correctly. This person will also declare "I know it's wrong, but that's how I wanna say it" proudly. He also thinks the "invention of learnt" should be credited to him.

When did Prolly become a substitute for Probably?

I always figured skrimp was just a typo for scrimp, you know, to save/economize.

I was following a car the other day that had a window sticker that said "Smile - Your On Camera."

WTH would you advertise to the world that you don't know the difference between your and you're?

My first thought was "Better not follow this guy for too long - he's a dumbass."

I get annoyed everytime I hear a person say that.

My best friend has a bad habit of saying "haffina" as opposed to saying "having to" it drives me nuts and even though I always correct her she still insists on saying it...her reason? Because she feels that since she isn't in a professional setting that she doesn't have to use "proper english".

^^^ I don't think there's anything wrong with code-switching.

Thank you for saying something. I was going to say that it's pretty socially inept to go around correcting people's speech in every day life. Don't correct someone unless that person has asked to be corrected.

I hope this one hasn't been mentioned yet: I just noticed one of my co-workers pronounces "especially" as "ecspecially". I was mildly irked the first time, and ready to scratch her eyes out after she said it about 10 more times during our conversation.

Not technically a grammar peeve - but alumnae who say "I WAS an ABC". No, you ARE an ABC. Unless you were kicked out. If that's the case, well okay. You WERE an ABC. This happens a great deal in wedding announcements.
