Table stakes. Because I always hear it as table steaks, and I want one.

Dictionary editors used to be steadfast in refusing to approve words that were improper. Now, they seem to just give in to the uneducated masses.

Do you understand how language works? Webster's job isn't to police language, but rather to reflect how it's being written and spoken. All words and their definitions are made up at some point.

Preeee-zentation instead of prez-en-tation.

Coonasses and their constant AXing questions.

Pretty much every word out of the HR director’s mouth.

Orientate
Irregardless
Onboarding
Gifted - as a verb
I really don’t like the word Yeah. It is very lazy and disrespectful.

“Anyways” with the s at the end. It makes me grip. I think it’s a word but it doesn’t mean I have to use it.

I hate when people use the word "legit" where the word "legitimately" should be used. Really grinds my gears, I tell ya!

My wife says "in agreeance" instead of "in agreement". While technically correct, it's kind of outdated and sounds wrong to my ear.

My dad's Yankee side ends sentences in "anymore" all the time. Not sure if that is a correct use or slang though.
