When someone uses the word “literally”, which is all day every day, it’s usually wrong and unnecessary. Please God make it stop.

5. "Hate on." It's just "hate." You hate something or someone. Adding "on" is unecessary and silly.
When I hear or read younger people use "hate on" it doesn't mean hate.
It means "to continually criticize, diminish and/or ridicule"
It's a slang usage which does create a distinct meaning.
That said, I don't blame you for hating on it because -- like a lot of new slang -- is grating in its overuse.

I don't like the use of "conxerning" as an adjective.
NO: That is concerning.
YES: That is a concern.
a trifle to be sure, one of those things that is apparently common usage now that is still jarring

Whenever someone passes and a loved one posts about it online, multiple people will comment “sorry for your lost” and it drives me insane.

My two current ones that seem to have come out of nowhere are:
"I have a pit in my stomach", when they mean "I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach".
and
"I resonate with that", when they mean "That resonates with me".

"You know". If I am getting information from the speaker then they should assume I do not know. Just say, "um".

“Could care less”
Also work related phrase “Are you tracking this?”
Maybe not incorrect but it irritates me for some reason.

You're off on this one. The phrase is an idiom that describes things so obviously different that a comparison isn't really meaningful.
An apple and orange aren't so different as to make a comparison not meaningful.
"What fruits offer the best nutritional value?"
To answer this question requires that we engage in comparisons just like the above and it will absolutely be meaningful.
By "possible" I simply mean possible to be an appropriate comparison.

"I love me some"........

People use “momentarily” when 99% of the time they mean to say “in a moment”
Ex. “I’ll be with you momentarily.”
I know that. You’re a waitress and I’m a customer. We’re not spending the afternoon together.
It’s such a small difference but it drives me up a wall.

I did some internships in the Northeast.
I used to and still say “I’m fixin” to do X or go to X and they were always perplexed by this and never thought abt it till they pointed it out.

One of the worst to me is saying calvary instead of cavalry.
Calvary or Golgotha was a site immediately outside Jerusalem's walls where, according to Christianity's four canonical gospels, Jesus was crucified.
Cavalry refers to troops that fight while mounted on horseback. Historically, they were a vital part of military forces, providing mobility and shock power on the battlefield. While the horse-mounted cavalry has largely been replaced by mechanized and armored units, the term can still refer to these modern, mobile fighting forces.

The use of "ran" when the proper word should have been "run."
George ran the company. The company was run by George.
