1) I CANNOT stand to hear people say, "If I would have known." For heaven's sake, that phrase doesn't exist in the English language. Say, "If I had known, I would/wouldn't have..."

2) I'm SO over that!

3) I had a teacher a while back that used to say "cit-it-sin" for the word "citizen." It drove me crazy!

4) I also hate when people mispronounce non-English words that have become common to English speakers. Ex: La Femme Nikita - ok, "Femme" is not "fehm" it is "fum." AND "laissez-faire" is not "lahzay-fair" it is "lehsay-fair"

5) I HATE the word "Whatever" when people are trying to refute something I've said. Why not just come back with an intelligent response????

6) Please learn the difference between "less" and "fewer." Grocery stores have it wrong!! Don't get sucked in!! "Less" is used for things you CAN'T count. "Fewer" is used for things you CAN count.
*10 Items or Less????? Can you count the Items that you're buying?? If so, then it's 10 Items or Fewer.
*But, you can't (well, wouldn't) count water, so you can have less water in your glass than your friend.
