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. |

You welcome or ax as in let me ax you something are two that I hear all the time and it drives me nuts. It does no good to try to correct them as they don't get it. You can show and tell people things but you can't understand it for them.

Borrowed instead of loaned. "I borrowed him my car." Makes the user sound dumber than just about anything else a person could possibly say.

How about a phrase? "I could care less". I always respond "Then do."

Non-verbs used as verbs.
The traffic heavys up as you approach the 101 freeway. Yes, I actually heard that sentence uttered by a professional broadcaster on the radio. |

Drug as the past tense of drag. "I drug it down the hill when it became to heavy to carry."

It's a dangerous thing to do in a room full of writers and copy editors.
3-4 of them will call out and correct the person..... |
