"To be honest"
Why the hell aren't you being honest in the first place? You're eating a big mac for social media. What's there to be bloody honest about?!

One can blame people for confusing or conflating these, but one cannot blame the language for being ambiguous because it isn't. They may sound similar but that's irrelevant, there are plenty of pairs of English words which sound alike or identical but have very different meaning. Horse/hoarse & bare/bear for example.

Influencer. Plus anyone who copies them - hairstyles, naming children after them or the influencer's children, clothing etc.
Nobody should copy what influencers do. Most ain't celebrities imo.

There's only one which actually gets me a little miffed - American's using "I could care less" instead of the correct "I couldn't care less" - that genuinely hurts my soul that people could be so deliberately annoying as to use the US version.

I can deal with their crap spelling and pronunciation of words, but this makes me want to go full Hannibal on them.
Also, it's Lego not Lego's.

People who ask for "advise" or describe something as "addicting". Also anyone who uses the word "bro", bruh or brah.

1. It annoys me when people say "non ti". Like the "3060 non ti" for example. It's just called a "3060".
2. It annoys me when people say "non xt". Like the "6700 non xt" for example. It's just called a "6700".
3. It annoys me when people say "non k". Like the "11700 non k" for example. It's just called a "11700".
4. It annoys me when people say "non x". Like the "5600 non x" for example. It's just called a "5600".
5. It annoys me when people say "Occulus Rift CV1". Nothing with that name was ever released. It just says "Occulus Rift" on the box.
6. "PS4 non pro" is annoying as well

Has "Been there. Done that." already been mentioned?
You may have been there, but there is no way you experienced it the same way as I.
