I know some people can't help it, I get that.
BUT I've just seen a photo on FB of a Mum & daughter and someone has comment 'so pressures' - I am assuming they mean precious!!
Any other classics you've seen?

He come around....instead of came around
I was sat...instead of sitting
Could of , would of, should of - instead of could have, would have , should have
there instead of they're
Where, were and wear all being mixed up
Principle instead of principal
Stationary instead of stationery
Draws instead of drawers
And for the worst - My Dh and me were.. DS and me - instead of Dh and I, DS and I etc .....drives me nuts. Take the other person out of the sentence folks, and see if using me on its own makes sense e.g Me were - not hard.

Lovely friend of mine writes 'awe' instead of 'aw' on Facebook, as in 'awe, how cute'. She says it every bloody post a lot and I always think 'wow, she's pretty easily awed by things.'
I posted a pic of an old school friend on FB a few weeks back and her mum commented ‘Arrggh, you look lovely X’. I did wonder why her daughter looking lovely would make her scream 
Definately, definatly, defiantly... anything that isn’t definitely 🤬🤬
I also hate it when people can’t get a simple expression right. A woman at work who gives out corporate freebies always emails us telling us it’s ‘first come first serve’. Grrrrrr!!! Or ‘The proof’s in the pudding’. No it isn’t!!!
