One of mine is when people say "got" when they mean "have." Example: "I gotta go to the store." vs "I have to go to the store."
It's used all the time. "Got" implies an exchange from the infinitive "to get." However, it's best not to correct people, they never seem to forget it, even several months later. (see sig)

At work, there are several individuals who use "acrost" instead of "across".
On the boards, one of my pet peeves would be the use of "would of", "could of", "should of" , etc.,
rather than the correct "would have", "could have", "should have"
or the appropriate contractions, "would've", "could've", "should've".
It is both a noun and transitive verb.
Ya know, I been a meanin to tell you that I run acrost some old pics of your boat and I would of sent them to ya if I could of afforded a stamp and I know I should of but Im gettin lazy in my old age.

o is a letter and 0 is a number i correct people all the time on that one usually daily
not on the telephone - there is no zero on the telephone and some people will still say it
I personally have a problem with "my bad", or any ghetto speak for that matter.

peeps, bling, and any/all other ghetto-speak used by white, middle-class people is pretty lame IMO.
Any izzie, izzle crap is a joke too.

[Mardonzi]

how about people who uze Legal fees instead of sucking the life blood from you through your waller??

[HalletDave]

The CORRECT word is "misuse".
"Misusage" is not proper.
Sheesh.

:idea:
Not according to Webster's... misusage, 2. improper application, as of words.
