People often mispronounce words or misquote sayings, which can be jarring and frustrating.
A user took it to the forum, and asked “What is the saying/word that people get wrong and it drives you nuts?”. Here are the top responses.
VOILA

“People often use the term ‘Irregardless’. I surmise that this is an amalgamation of two words: regardless and irrespective.”, said one user.
SHOULD HAVE

“Some people say ‘should of’, instead of ‘should have’. Interestingly I have found out that this issue mostly comes up with native English speakers who learned the spoken language well before written English.
As a non-native person who learned spoken and written English simultaneously, it’s very hard to make this kind of mistake.”, said one user.
WOMAN & WOMEN

“‘I COULD care less’, instead of ‘I COULDN’T care less’. Drives me nuts. My response is always, without fail, ‘So you do care a little bit?’.”, said one user.
MARTIAL LAW

“I have heard people say ‘Marshall’ law. It’s ‘MARTIAL’. Martial! Like martial arts. Because it’s related to war.”, said one user.
SCRATCH IT
