YES.

I was just about to post this one. I will also add rouge/rogue and that there is no such fucking word as "tounge".

I constantly hear at work "What is the best number to reach you at?" Along with a whole host of mangled medical terminology spoken by people who, in their defense, were mostly English and art majors, but I can't help it that I paid attention in Biology class, can I?

And a few of the higher ups have a tendency to send emails with sentences that end in ellipses . . .
Like you send a message about something and end it with "Have a great Fourth" and they reply "Thanks . . . You too . . . "
What does that mean!

I feel like I'm the only person who actually pronounces them "comFORtable" and "cloTHes" as opposed to "comfterble" and "close."

And "y'all," "fixin' to," and ESPECIALLY "Do what?" I say all the time and I don't apologize for it.

Good luck fixing all the grammar mistakes on the internet. Rage, rage against the dying of the light!

Agree completely. Can't believe I forgot that one, and its bastard cousin, "Commentate". It's ComMENT, damn it.

Well, you can't notice this verbally, but it really irks when someone types 'wetted' instead of 'whetted'; as in 'That whetted my appetite.' or 'My interest was whetted.'

...but then again, I'm an anal asshole.*

*...but, then again, what other kind is there?

I've lost track of the number of times I've gone off on people over that, both in person and on the web. I can't stand it when people don't think about what they're saying.

Even worse when you realize how rarely they do.

We got a resume at work once, on which the kid had designed himself a logo and a slogan. That's not unusual for designers right out of school, but his slogan was "endless creativeness."

I just felt bad for him.

Well, "endless creativeness" is actually rather creative since he in fact created a new term. Just sayin´.

I once got shit for emphasizing the t in "often" until the dispute led us to dictionary.com, where we learned that both "ofTen" and oFFen" were acceptable pronunciations. I couldn't believe people actually say offen.

I actually said the exact same thing right before I threw it in the recycling bin.

Also, IM-speak. I can deal with the odd abbreviated "brb" or "lol" but I hate people who spell people "ppl" to save themselves that extra 0.3 seconds of effort. I weep for high school teachers.

I learned guesstimate in 8 th grade algebra 1 back in 1982?

I'm also on board the "I hate people who don't know the difference between your and you're" train, and we're taking a short stop in "its/it's" burg.
dyslexia account a lot of this, left and right give me problem in the real world as an example. When friends are giving me Direction to a place, I almost always at some point end up asking my right or my other right . homophones are the bane of dyslexics every were. My personal bane is there/their, I always have to double check when I am using either word.
