YES.
I also hate the misspellings in "sneak peak", "take the reigns" and "straight jacket" and see all of these frequently, especially on Instagram and blogs.1 -

I can definitely relate to hating these, they make me want to grind my teeth down to powder. Another one that makes me want to stab someone is writing "peaked" instead of "piqued".0 -
Sammich for sandwich.
Waterburger for regional fast food chain Whataburger.
Spade or spaded for spayed (ovariohysterectomy in female pets). The other is a garden implement.
Misuse of their, there, and they're.
Misuse of affect and effect.
Seen instead of saw.
Misuse of further and farther
Disastrous only has three syllables; not four.2 -

When people complain that "he/she is so bias" instead of biased, and when "verse" is used instead of "versus". They're competing against each other, not spouting bloody poetry!! Lol2

"Hater" who came up with that, Kim Kardashian?
"Butthurt" too many folks I know who use that expression happen to be bullies who said something nasty and then "Oh now you're all butthurt" and what does my butt have to do with getting hurt?
"You don't want to" uh yes I do, YOU don't want me to. More traditional friends were very bossy when my husband and I were planning our wedding, and I kept hearing that expression from them.2 -

That C word that rhymes with bunt..
It is acceptable and sometimes used as a term of endearment.
In Australia, that word has many connotations – most of which are actually positive.
No no no.. hate that word used good or bad.

What is this even? It sounds like onomatopoeia of a piece of rebar hitting a concrete floor.1 -

It is an incorrect past tense of the word bring. It’s an old fashioned slang. I know only one person of my age who still uses it so it’s just a personal annoyance.

It just grosses me out. When I hear this word used, I imagine something unpleasant in my mouth like Silly Putty or sand.1
