Words that really hack you off

[Bumbelz]

As I get older I find I get very picky about spelling and the misuse of words
On a social network site there's an ad for a game describing it as 'ADDICTING'.
Every time I see it it makes me cross and I've had several arguments about this word

Are there words that people use/misspell that annoy you?

[B00]

could of/should of/would of.

Makes me want to commit murder.

Oh and draws instead of drawers.

[Maydup]

I'm watching "Who Dares Wins" and he's always saying "look at the answers you could of had" grrrr ;-)

I agree entirely with the first line of Boobie's post.

I also absolutely hate 'yer'... it's 'yes', 'yep' or 'yeah' but I think 'yer' sounds chavvy.

And don't even get me started on text speak!

[rowanwitch]

nauseous/nauseated....used incorrectly make me feel like puking

[China Doll]

I dislike it when people use the correct word for the yellow part of an egg, it has always made me feel sick for some reason.

[Bumbelz]

Pacific instead of specific is another of my pet hates

[ladybirder]

except when they mean accept. everythink - no such word.

[factor-fiction]

Websites that ask "forgot your password?"
LOOSE instead of LOSE.
Pacific instead of specific.
And I agree about "would of/must of"
Misuse of there/their/they're.

In fact there are 2 (I mean too) many to mention.

But it doesn't really hack me off, it just puzzles me.

Still prefer different from.

Text-speak in general, especially on a website. When people put 'ur' instead of 'your', just how much of a hurry are they in...?!

[sara3]

schedule being pronounced skedule. we're not in America!

[boxtops]

oooh - we've had this before, pacific is my biggie, together with joolery and seckertry.

and the Pri Minister.

[ladybirder]

and communial.

[China Doll]

More than three exclamation posts at the end of a sentence will make my heckles itch as well. It's the equivalent of writing a letter in green pen to me.

[boxtops]

People who say "my best thing" instead of my favourite....

and people who persist in asking which you like best, when there are only two options - people who speak of their eldest daughter, when they only have two.

[MarkRae]

Wensdee instead of Wednesday.
Pleece instead of police.
Lie-bree instead of library.
Feb-you-erry instead of February.
Nup-chew-uls instead of nuptials.

[B00]

always makes me anxious that CD, loads of exclamation marks, dunno why.

[starone]

Where you to? instead of Where are you?

[China Doll]

I'm glad it's not just me Boobies...
