Here's another one.

People intentionally saying, "Morning" instead of "Good Morning".

I generally don't say "Good Morning" to people at all. It's not up to me to put pressure on them to have a good morning.  (That might make having a good morning harder, actually.)  And when you're online, the person you're talking to could be in a different time zone, so it might not be morning for them.  :)

"Goes"..when used to refer to something that a person has SAID.  "I told Frank I was tired of this place, and he GOES...there's the door".  I have actually heard this from ENGLISH teachers.

I am surprised no one has mentioned the famous "My Bad".  Or is that wonderful catch phrase just restricted to THIS country?

How about "nauseous"? 

I hate it when people say, "I feel nauseous" and intend to say "I feel nauseated." 

When someone says, "I feel nauseous," what they are truly saying is, "A nauseating odor is emanating from me."

Yucky.

:haha:

I try to remember the "i before e except after c" phrase.

I hate when people don't capitalize their "poohs" - for example:

Lady Cop and UsedToRide are such a cute linky-pooh-pooh-pah-dos!

I think "Pooh" should be capitalized out of respect for Pooh:
