“Hella”.
“I eat hella food”
or
“I have been lifting hella weights lately”.
This shit is only funny when Cartman says it…and even then I sometimes want to kick his cartoon ass.

The word “converse” being replaced with “conversate”.
For all intensive purposes as opposed to all intents and purposes.
S’s being attached inappropriately to regard, toward, and anyway. It is not in regards to, it is in regard to. You are not walking towards it, you are walking toward it, etc…
Also that fucking “C” that people add to especially, making themselves sound eCspecially stupid.[/quote]
How do you use the words “towards” then?

“It’s the same difference.”
WHAT?!?! A difference is by definition of the word NOT the same. So you can not call it a difference at all if the two things are the same. The correct phrase is “It’s the same thing.”[/quote]
Unless you’re comparing two groups of things that are different.
i.e. an apple and an orange in your right hand, and an apple and an orange in your left hand.

around here they say it :
“six of one half dozen of the other”
My pet peeves in language?
Pled and pleaded.
I hate to hear on the news that so and so “pleaded” guilty. I know it is appropriate to use pleaded, but to say so and so “pled” guilty sounds so much better.
To use pleaded make the news caster sound like a little kid saying “I swimded the river”
And how about the total miss use of the word “seen”. I just love to hear someone say “I seen it or I seen them.”
More of a spelling error but very common, when people say “comming”.

I agree - that’s probably one of the worst and I hear it all the time by people who consider themselves educated.
How about affect and effect? Remember, affect is a verb and effect is a noun.
People don’t know how to make a singular noun plural. For instance, “Five orange’s for a dollar.” No. Oranges.
i alos hat eit wen ppl typ liek thsi on teh net!!! it maks me fell liek i hav a tick nd i cnt read n e fing dey type!!!1111lolwtf
Grow a brain. Things are much easier to read when you type like a real person and not a 3rd grader. Nobody will take you seriously if you can’t even communicate. Typing like you have Tourette’s Syndrome doesn’t make you cool (not meant to offend anyone with the condition, I understand how serious it is).
Yea I was gonna say ‘comming’ I was doing this for a while myself…lol
Anyways does this stuff really bother you or are you being fucktards…lol
It’s spelled S U P P L E M E N T people! Not suppliment. This one really annoys me. If you don’t know how to spell, use a spell checker before you post. Spelling mistakes make you look stupid.
Your, You’re
Their, There
Supposibly
Taken aback (meaning people dont know thats how to properly spell/say it)

Not trying to poke you in the eye here, but “effect” can also be used as a transitive verb. “Effect a change”

Not necessarily. You can “effect change,” for example.
That’s a good rule of thumb, though.
The word “swole” pisses me off. Even if taken as a shortened version of swollen, which is my best guess as to where it came from, it would just mean inflamed and filled with fluid.

That’s hella gay! I was using hella before that fat-ass fucker!
You know what I mean, bro?
This isn’t a commonly jacked up phrase, but here’s one I saw in an office downtown last week.
Scrolling across some gal’s screensaver it said “I ain’t no halle bat girl”
This is why white people should be judicious in their partaking of rap music.
I can’t believe no one has said this one yet:
Ax instead of Ask. “Ax me again what my name is”.
I can somewhat understand people using non-words to connote meaning if it shaves a consonant from the word from which it is derived, but there is really no reason to say ax instead of ask given they have the same phonetics.
And here’s one I hear a lot (it’s actually a case of overuse rather than misuse), “Shut the fuck up.”
