People who say expresso. It’s espresso.

Irregardless.

What bothers me is I too frequently hear these out of otherwise intelligent and reasonably cultured and educated people.

Idiots.

I still find it funny when white people say they are going to get their herrr did. Making fun of ghetto culture is huh-lerrius.

I work offshore in a highly technical field and facilitate a lot of work for engineering teams that are very high capacity people. Try explaining what they’re doing to your average offshore baw. In other words, I have very few conversations that don’t get on my nerves.

I’ve heard it two ways and still don’t know which ones correct not that it matters.

Oldtimers/alltimers instead of Alzheimers.

Southmore instead of sophomore.

Isnt it common knowledge that max humidity is only in the morning when the temps are the lowest?

Max humidity can definitely happen anytime of the day including the hottest parts of the day around 3pm. Especially after a pop up storm rolls through. Yeah it's more rare but does happen.

Is “the OT” still acceptable?

There’s a group of two-word phrasal verbs that have noun counterparts created by putting the two words together. In writing I see people use the single-word noun form as a verb all the time. Idk why but this drives me crazy.

E.g.: You don’t “cleanup” the house. You clean up the house, which is A cleanup.

More e.g.:
Send off vs. Sendoff
Look up vs. Lookup
Call back vs. Callback
Make up vs. Makeup
