Is that like "Other people" who don't like correcting minor problems
that could in the long run turn into bigger problems!?

You have way to much time on your hands.
Go volunteer at an animal rescue shelter. Then
you will "need" to get home at the end of the day

As someone above mentioned, starting a sentence with the word so. Last but not least, when you correct someone doing something incorrect, they reply, I know. Then they correct what they are doing. If you knew it was wrong, why did you screw it up to begin with? Believe me, drinking helps, at least for a little while.

Yes Jerry,
and how about "You know..."?
When I hear on TV "you know" three or four times in one sentence (football players and some politicians), I switch the channel.

Too many people using Ya Ya Ya in quick succession. I know someone that uses that ALL the time and I've nicknamed him YaYa.

and when someone, as a weather person says, "It will start raining about 2:00AM in the morning." I guess to distinguish between that and 2:00AM in the afternoon?

My issue: "ax" for "ask". "I want to ax you a question."
Also, the lack of capitalization. We enter customer information into our computer and a couple of the younger employees were not capitalizing. I questioned them and their answer was that it didn't matter. I explained that it looked unprofessional and I wanted them to start capitalizing. Later, I had to show them which words to capitalize because they weren't taught how to.

It really is painful, in a fork scraping on a plate kind of way, listening to words being misused.
The devil is in the details.
I'm surprised that no one his mentioned my favorite peeve.
The incorrect use of the words "less" and "fewer".
To the any sayers,

Less and fewer are a big infraction. I hear it all the time on TV. I've noticed lately that some grocery stores have corrected the "15 items or less" sign to "15 items or fewer". I always comment how proud I am of them. (not really, but I have mentioned it). I get the glazed over look from the check-out person. They could care less. (or is it fewer?) Just kidding. LOL
