The use of the word "literally" out of context drives me batsh*t insane. That and double negatives.

"I literally nutted this drive...."
Did ya? Ewww....

"There ain't no....."

If they truly mean literally, it sounds awful painful.

I hate it after I hit a horrible shot, "What'd you hit?", I'm like WTH..like it matters.

Try my response in that situation:

"My skirt on the downswing."

The use of the word "literally" out of context drives me batsh*t insane.

That is one of my biggest pet peeves. It's like 95% of the population has no idea what the word "literal" actually means.

And I wouldn't mind so much if it was just every now and then, but when was the last time you heard it used correctly? A new one for me is the use of the word "starving" instead of "hungry". I know it's very petty and I was just as guilty as everyone else of using the two words interchangeably. But at some point (and for some unknown reason), it dawned on me that for the typical American to claim s/he is "starving" just because they haven't stuffed their face in 3 hours was a little (forgive the pun) . . . distasteful. Especially considering the current obesity problem in this country, where even our poorest citizens are overweight.

Fixed it for you.

Very good.

The use of the word "less" when "fewer" should be used. If you can count whatever it is you're talking about, the word is "fewer", not "less".

I cringe when I hear faculty say something like, "We have less students in 106 than we did last year." I have to bite my tongue with that one.

Do as I say, not as I do. Most arrogant phrase to date IMHO.

Generally, whenever someone says "git r done," I simultaneously want to vomit and pummel.
