People who say 'like' instead of pausing...and using 'so' for extra emphasis.
It's worse when they put them together "It was like so great"...*shudder*
It's happening more and more as well.
Oh and people who have to give 110%, then there are the ever keen to impress folk who will give 150%.
Gah.

Nothing to do with grammar - it is just plainly using the wrong word lolAhhh the bi-weekly grammar rant!
I don't actually mean to be facetious as I feel exactly the same way.

Sorry, but if you're going to rant about grammar and spelling, at least make sure yours is correct.
Corrected version said:To top it off my pen ran out too

That is like nails on a chalkboard.
It's up there with "at the end of the day".Here's a common one that I hear all the time, even heard Charlotte Church use it on one of her crappy chat shows:
"I literally died"
Really? How was your reincarnation you illterate fool?
shamelessly stolen from urban dictionary
They're not saying it as a plural "s" they're saying it as a possessive "s".

However the name of the store is Tesco. For example you would say "I'm just going to say hi to Tefal's"
The only supermarket that ends in s is Sainsbury's, however I will happily stand corrected if mistaken

For all the complainers (and I fall into this category 
) read Saxon English and low and high Medieval English and try to see how they might feel now if they could see how the way they spoke has developed; we essentially speak the same language 
. Unfortunately English; it's structure and rules are a dynamic thing and there is nothing we can do about it
I give you as evidence the words;
nice
nadder (Thanks QI)
The parallel developments of Kingly and Royal
The words with silent K that never used to be quite so silent

Just thinking, one that annoys me is people who say "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less".
Are they telling us that they do care?
