Internet speak.
I HATE when people use.

I use some, in chats.
But when people do it in Real Life.
Saying. "Oh. EM. GEE"

Most of the words I can't stand are incorrect ones that have passed into regular usage (like "addicting" 
) or incorrect words used to make people sound smarter (like "irregardless". Holy crap I hate that word. And now Firefox spellcheck doesn't even recognise as incorrect).

It's incredibly condescending and presumptive.Lois Lane wrote:"Research the truth and you will find it! I did, so why shouldn't you?"

What library do you use? My FF spellcheck underlines it red. I use the British English library, version 1.19.
Something else that is just frustrating is:
"I will think about it".
Generally that means:
"No, but I'm too sorry for you or afraid of you to tell you the truth, so I'll just make you wait a bit longer..."

merriam-webster.com wrote:usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.
Jack, do you mean that it is acceptable or not? The dictionary seems to agree that people use it, but it states quite clearly that it is not really acceptable.

I dislike it when someone says "With all do respect" trying not to be rude while being rude.
