    Irregardless

    Regardless already means without regard. The unnecessary ir prefix makes a double negative, changing the meaning of what you're trying to convey.

    These are incorrect uses of grammar or vocabulary more than over-used phrase; but they bug the shit out of me and are welcome additions. 

    'Wrecking havoc' instead of 'wreaking havoc' makes me crazy. And it's not reeking havoc unless it smells real bad.

    Yeah, they're definitely worth mentioning because they are still overused.  Otherwise they wouldn't bug us as much! :lol:

    Agree. They're grammatically incorrect and overused. I hear both of those all the time.

    Then I suppose you'd be wreaking a reeking havoc. But just don't wreck it for god's sake.

    "We'll see".. Maybe just more of a pet peeve of mine but damn if it doesn't irritate the piss out of me. I am a grown ass woman and I can handle rejection. Just have the balls to say no and don't pussy foot around for a few days. My older sisters tormented me with this phrase when I was younger.

    100% agree on the "I could care less." I hear it that way 9/10 times. Makes no sense, I guess people never sit and think about it, because if they did, they wouldn't say it.

    “Know what I’m sayin’”. Why do some people have to attach that to the end of every sentence???
