What words annoy you when used wrong or people don't know the meaning of?

Fewer v less. Even newsreaders get it wrong.

Placed on the chair. Speed lets me down every time. Lack of care really, letting myself down.

Surely .. "which" words annoy when used "wrongly" .. OK .. I'm a pedant ..

Daughter-in-laws instead of daughters-in-law.
Nucular instead of nuclear.
Skelington instead of skeleton.
You was instead of you were.
He was sat instead of he was sitting, unless of course he was physically lifted and place on the chair.
Bring back grammar schools or, at the very least, teachers capable of teaching good grammar or correcting poor grammar.
Just a nod to the current tennis interest. I wish McEnroe would stop calling Djokovic Joke a vich. Not funny. Smacks of the green eyed monster.

Font instead of typeface...drives me absolutely nuts.

Isn’t that correct though, or I am being very dim?

Draws instead of drawers.

I think, BlueBelle what Grandma French meant is that the apostrophe was missing from 'that's' in your original post. Probably by accident rather than design.

Yes Grandmafrench I said I was being pedantic why did you say ‘No’ when you seem to agree with me!!!

Haha check out your “that”

To my ears the title should be what words annoy you when said wrongly not what words annoy you when said wrong
Now maybe that s being pedantic 🤣

It is but I have to agree, thank you, I wasn’t brave enough!

Loose instead of lose gets my goat.

Epicentre - it means the point on the surface of the earth directly above an earthquake and is not a clever way of saying the middle of something. It's obviously trendy just now as some people think it makes them sound more intelligent!

Jewlery instead of jewellery. Makes me want to scream.

No, that’s being pedantic, BB 😉

Earlier a man on the tv said someone had been 'capitulated into the headlines' - I still haven't recovered.

All of the above and “whether” and “weather” (I’ve seen wether used for both as well).

Affect and effect. Loose instead of lose.

Bowlfuls instead of bowlsful. The plural is in the bowls.
