Your most hated Mispronounced/Misused word?

[Goldstone Rapper]

Use to/ Used to

Another website gives a different interpretation
Learning English | BBC World Service

I remember an educational programme called 'How We Used To Live.' Surely, that's right?

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

People using the word 'much' instead of 'many'.
People saying 'like' too much, although I have caught myself doing it recently

 

[Tight shorts]

Lol.
Pointless waste of three letters.

 

[StanmoreSeagull]

Was instead of were. "We was... "
Them instead of those. "Them ones"
Done instead of did. "I done"

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

It's much more better for us.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

In AA meetings 39% of members cannot pronounce "anonymous" or "anonymity" (cue slurring jokes). Drives me mad.

 

[The Large One]

'Erstwhile' - does NOT mean 'esteemed'.

'10 Items or Less'

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Girls saying "Get off me, I am not your girlfriend I'm waiting for a bus home"

[Raleigh Chopper]

It's a hard habit to break that one!

O is a letter, Zero is a numeric character.

Another is idiots that start every reply with Im not being funny but.
