    Your = belongs to you.
    You're = you are.

    THIS!

    There, their, they're.
    I just don't understand how people still get this wrong. Didn't we all learn this in 3rd grade?

    And when people say "sherbert" when it's actually "sherbet" and "mis-chee-vee-us" instead of "mischievous".

    Sherbert is an accepted form of the word sherbet(maybe not by you...but..).

    From Merriam-Webster dictionary:
    sher·bet also US sher·bert /ˈʃɚbət/ /ˈʃɚbɚt/ noun
    plural sher·bets also sher·berts 1 [count, noncount] US : a frozen sweet dessert made from fruit or fruit juices

    I hate when people say "oh" for "zero" for some reason. But I think that's a pretty normal thing, and just a personal pet peeve of mine!

    When I lived in Pennsylvania years ago, people would use "Yins guys" as in, "Yins guys want to go to the movies with us?"

    YOU GUYS, perhaps? Thanks.

    Drove me up a WALL.

    "I seen" makes me want to punch people.. And using "them" when referring to objects: "Where did you get them socks?"

    That's mostly just a Pittsburgh thing(yinz), I have family there, it's funny to hear and my aunt absolutely uses the term.

    There is a WAH forum that I mod on and there is one person there who always types 'pust' in place of 'supposed' and it drives me crazy. I always want to go in and correct her posts, 'how am I pust to help this person' we've often wondered what it would be like to actually speak to her.
    My daughter and her boyfriend lived with us for a bit, we are American living in the UK and her boyfriend is British. He says free in place of three. Our house number is 43 and he always says fortyfree. He can say three but says it's effort. Makes me crazy.

    we're going to the "libary". instead of library.

    and before you cook the meat, you have to "unthaw" it first. if "unthaw" were a word, it would actually mean "freeze". derp.

    After a really loud concert, or sometimes after swimming.

    BAHAHAHA! Oh, Ken.

    Also, I hate 'drawling' instead of drawing. Especially as an artist.

    And when people pronounce my name 'BROWNwen' instead of BRONwen. UGH.

    As well as pretty much everything mentioned above.

    I didn't do nothing wrong (instead of "do anything wrong") ...

    Double negatives, they make me cringe.

    Drives me nuts when someone is trying to say they do not care about something and they say "I could care less". What should be said is "I could not care less" the first way implies that you do in fact care somewhat because you could care less.

    I know, it's a weird one.

    Had a lot of friends in college from SE PA and South Jersey who spoke like that. I used to give them such a hard time.

    Same lady used to write out the work 13 as "threeteen" and swore up and down that it was how her elementry teacher taught her it was spelled. haha

    You know, I'll believe that. My high school English teachers swore up and down that the contraction it's (it is) did not have an apostrophe.
