No it isn't. That's why Ebonics was "invented". Problem solved.

Saying things like "They got dey(they) stuff" instead of "their stuff". So dang ghetto. People don't even try.

Lose and loose is probably the one I hate most.

Mixing up sale/sell pisses me off more than it should.

"then" and "than" is my biggest. It bothers me even more when people use "than" in place of "then".
Sale and sell is another that baffles me.

Stop it. What common English snafu makes you cringe every time?
Even my Mom, who doesn't really give a single shite about proper grammar, hates the "I seen it..." shite.
She actually said as much a few weeks ago when someone said it on a video she was watching. It tickled me because she really doesn't usually care.

Is there something grammatically wrong with this sentence? As a proper grammar and usage nazi, if true, I learned something today.

Anyone, but particularly professional athletes that utter “You know what I’m saying?” in a conversation or interview. Hey, Einstein, I obviously have no fricking clue what you’re trying to convey otherwise I wouldn’t have asked you the question or engaged in the conversation in the first place.

This bothers me a lot too but I've made the mistake a few times simply because of auto correct and being in a hurry and not proofreading well. I immediately edit it though once I notice but I tend to give people a pass on this unless it's common for them

It wasn’t a good example. Fewer is for countable things, but “people” is not really a countable thing unless you go around doing a head count. It’s too general.

It may actually be (almost) correct if the person saying it means the people there last week were lesser people ie lower quality or trashy for example. This is rarely how people use it.
If you can count something then you use few if you can't count it then you use less. Less water, fewer fish. You can have fewer gallons of water or lesser fish if you are catching 'cuda when fishing for billfish.
Grammerly
