How about "should of" instead of "should've". It isn't you "should of" done something, you should have done something.

I suppose my biggest pet peeves are more written than spoken (I blame texting): u (you), r (are), 8 (ate), and so on.

#2 on here really bothers me. If I had to estimate in my own life experience, when I hear the word used - the ratio of #2 used to #1 has to be > 9:1.
#2 is a horrible definition to be contrary to #1.

I'm not a Colorado native and it drives me crazy that 100% of you people say ON-ree, it's orn-ree. Click on the link to listen to the pronunciation. I'm just glad it's not a popular word.

Out here it is known as insurance. Further East it is known as insurance. Hope this is NOT a repost.
Uh not exactly... the proper pronunciation (I only deal with the word somewhere between 1 and 5000 times a day) is actually insureance.

Yeah, kinda like inshureance. I have had various types of insurance since about 1955 so I too am at least a littler familiar with the word - and I have paid a LOT into the various Ins. Co's. and seldom ever had to get any payouts..Uh not exactly... the proper pronunciation (I only deal with the word somewhere between 1 and 5000 times a day) is actually insureance.
Oh, just one more. I CAN'T hardly do this --- I CAN hardly do this.

Good for you!I have paid a LOT into the various Ins. Co's. and seldom ever had to get any payouts..
Oh along with your can and can't hardly... not just "do this" but also "wait." Someone said it last weekend, "I can't hardly wait." I just responded with, "sounds like a personal problem."

Actually, it is orn-a-ree. And i agree, I am glad it is not that popular. It just screams hillbilly.
I will not abide this abomination. (1224)
I hate that word, I pronounce it wrong when I have used it but certainly don't use it unless I am repeating someone...it definitely has hillbilly written all over it.
