I hate it when people use impact as a verb. I also really hate it when people misuse, and mix up affect and effect.

"adorable" when used passive aggressively. Memes in general. Tumblr memes like "I'm so tired" and "it costs exactly zero dollars to (do what I say)", racist memes I encounter too often, buzzwords of all political varieties... Using this poo poo is basically saying just signaling which in crowd you want points from and aren't actually trying to reach or engage anyone.

Since moving to the Northeast I hear the positive anymore a lot and it drives me nuts. They'll use it where normal people would use something like "nowadays", like "seems like these lawnmowers have gotten expensive anymore"

The people at my work refer to a cookout or BBQ as a "burger burn" and I swear to god every time I hear it I wish that everyone involved in the operation is engulfed in flames. They also say "tasker" instead of "task" like, "please take care of that tasker the boss sent out, it's due by C.O.B today." One of my coworkers says "however, comma..." and it's spreading. Also anytime some one says "What happened was" there is always a god damned pause and a smug loving grin like they are some comedic genius.

When people say acronyms or abbreviations out loud that are more syllables than it would be to say the words the acronym represents. For example, "Gee Ess Doubleyou to the chest" in police/detective shows. Also, when people make contractions of acronyms to say out loud, that become words that mean something else that isn't the thing, eg. pronouncing "SQL" as "sequel" - why not "squill", that's one less syllable and doesn't imply that it's a thing that followed from something else. Or squirrel, that's still two syllables and is much more fun than sequel.

Pretty much any word or phrase that was born on the internet should loving stay there. Same goes for video games. I swear to god I consider braining myself with a hammer every time I hear somebody say WTF or LOL out loud, or loving pwned. Ugh...some loving nerd saying "poned" makes me wanna beat the piss out of them.

My Latino co-workers use the plural for vacation, because that's how it is in Spanish (vacaciones). I.e., "I'm going on vacations next week."

Apparently only a few people on Earth know the difference between the words "purposely" and "purposefully" and it drives me insane for some reason. Everyone seems to default to using "purposefully" I guess because it has more syllables, except it's the wrong word 99% of the time. Idiots think they're being smart and grammatically correct by using "I" in place of "me" whenever there's another party involved, despite not being the subject of the sentence or clause. "My dad gave a present to my brother and I." No you piece of poo poo, it's "my brother and me" because you're still the object and you wouldn't say "My dad gave a present to I" if your brother weren't involved. "How are you doing?" "I'm well." Great, you might be well, but they didn't ask about your health; they asked about your general well being. Tell them that you are good, not well. "Preggers" in reference to a pregnant woman. I don't know why but this one grosses me out a lot. Something about using a playful/childish shortening of a word for an exclusively adult biological condition really strikes me as weird.

Jay_Zombie posted:When people omit "to be" from a sentence. I might be misremembering but I believe this has some origin in the fact that a ton of Pennsylvanian immigrants spoke German and that language not having a concept of the verb "to be" but a linguist should correct me on this. As a person who grew up there I recall having to be taught this and it still takes some active listening to parse the omission as incorrect E: actually just looked it up and it's a Scotch-Irish thing maybe?
