Misused words that drive you crazy...
The girl in the office beside me continuously uses the word "whenever" instead of the word "when."
Example:
"Whenever I was driving to work this morning, there was a lot of traffic."
I never knew how often the word "when" was used in conversation until I had to listen to her. I am not a grammar Nazi and I am FAR from perfect in the way I speak but I think I have already heard it about 50 times today and if I hear it again I might have an aneurysm.
