Post your own that irritates you.
Mine is: Alumni vs Alumnus
I hate seeing all these license plates stating Alumni! You are an Alumnus. Alumni means the entire body of Alums! Dumbasses!

Bonus: Irregardless-Regardless Somehow this stupid word is now accepted.

i love a grammar nazi thread when the OP is incorrect in their word usage

Alumnus = single male

Alumna - single female

Alumnae = multiple females

Alumni = more than one alumnus/alumna

Alum = Chemistry term, as in a hydrated salt of aluminum

People who don't know the difference between Sale and Sell. It blows my mind. We see these words used on signs everywhere, yet people still can't figure out the difference. I have somewhat smart, college educated friends that still get this wrong.
