This one grinds my gears:

Earl is someone's name.
Oil is a lubricant or used for cooking.

Those that can't help saying erl don't say "tin ferl keeps food from sperl." Why?

"nuc yoo ler"


This one drives me nuts.

It's spelled, N-U-C-L-E-A-R, not N-U-C-Y-OO-L-A-R, and it's pronounced exactly how it's spelled, dimwits.

They are actually saying "should've" which is a contraction for should have.

No, they are actually typing "should of" in place of "should have" because it sounds similar to "should've" and they don't know the difference.
