Your/You're always gets me..... :)Those are my biggest peeves, along with there/their. It's like we're among 10-yr-olds. Oh yeah, were/we're is another.

I hate the "I could care less" it's "I couldn't care less". That peeves me.

Another phrase, though technically correct, is "the fact of the matter." Why not just "the truth?"

Oh yeah -- "utilize" and "use."

YES!

i always shake my head when someone says "half a dozen"...

When someone starts a reply to a question with "If I'm being honest ..."
Well if you're not then STFU ...

Me too. It's so obvious that if you could care less, then you actually do care a little. You care enough that you could actually care less! I couldn't care less means just that---I can't care any less than I do right now.

SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW!

That really does bother me a lot. Also - "anyways".
