    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.
