To many people refuse too use to and too properly.:D

My wife's pet peeve is "These ones" or "Those ones". It's simply "these" or "Those".

"These ones" is never correct.

I may not spell them right every time, but I know what word to use. SmileWavy

My dear wife, after 50 years on this planet, still says "suposubly". Sorry if I spelled that wrong. ly.

My old boss used to say: "I pacifically told you..."

I'd say something like: "What does the ocean have to do with it?"

He'd have a blank look.

When my son was 10, he made an opposite (intentional) play on words, calling the Mexican restaurant down the street "Specific Taco" instead of "Pacific Taco".

He still frequently gives me brief flashes of small brilliances.

I recently saw a craigslist ad for a Porsche listing "know dents" as one of the attributes.

My favorite on Craigslist... "Must sale!"

I got a flyer from a cleaning service today that offered "Free Estaments."

...and not every word that end's with an S has an apostrophe in front of the S.

An apostrophe is a terrible thing to waste.

a couple more i see on this forum occasionally...

"flair/flare" <<<<< this isn't office space
"break/brake" <<<<< i like coffee but this isn't the place

"Liberry" - kills me every time I hear it.

I have problems with political groups who don't know the difference between tolerance and acceptance.

"of coarse" instead of "of course"
breaks instead of brakes

Loose vs. Lose, never good to call someone a looser when you mean loser.

Advice vs. Advise, can I get some advise?
