    "Moot" as in "its a moot point"... Then it drives me crazy when people say "mute point" instead.... A lady I used to work with used the expression ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!

    ANY word if it's not pronounced properly:

    warsh instead of wash
    expecially instead of especially
    bolth instead of both
    anchilada instead of enchilada
    treadmeal instead of treadmill

    and the worst....

    Walmarts instead of Walmart

    "Irregardless" isn't actually a word, so that's probably why it annoys you. :)

    ax instead of ask

    and when someone says "I could care less"......it's couldn't! You couldn't care less! It takes everything I have not to correct them!
