So, like the title...have there ever been times when someone says something incorrectly in English and it makes you cringe...but you don't want to deal with the hassle of correcting them? Might be grammar; might be that they just never learned the correct phrase. Here are a couple of mine that I cringe every time I hear/see it:
  • Their vs. there vs. they're
  • Its vs. it's
  • Nauseous vs. nauseated: If you say "I feel nauseous", you are essentially saying "I feel that I make other people sick"
  • Beckon call: What is a beckon call?! It's "beck and call"!
  • For all intensive purposes: NO! It's "for all intents and purposes"

Or maybe I'm the only one with this strange pet peeve :O_O:
