[Ads-l] Top peeves

[Jonathan Lighter]

According to Gemini AI, these are the linguistic peeves most
complained about on the Internet, sometimes passionately:

"I could care less"

"Should of / Could of / Would of"

"Irregardless"

Misuse of "Literally"

Erroneous Apostrophes (Greengrocer's Apostrophes)

"Supposably"

Filler "Like" and Discourse Markers (e.g., "It was, like, totally, you know...")

"Less" vs. "Fewer"

"Between you and I"

"Loose" vs. "Lose"

"They're/ Their/ Their" errors

"Whatever!/ Whatevva!"

"Expresso" for "Espresso."

"Axe" for "ask."

"Affect" vs. "Effect."
