It really burns me when I see some newspaper or magazine article that quotes someone saying "could've" and prints it "could of."
I'll +2 on that!
I also am bothered by those who do not know when to use "less" and "fewer".
Others that get to me:
Further vs farther
Affect vs effect
People who misuse "irony"
And there are still those who do not understand "neither/nor" and "either/or"


A corporate phrase that I do not like but hear quite often is "to your point"
