It's "toe the line," people

[Anonymous]

Really grating when I say, "excuse me" and the other person says, "oh you're good!"

[Anonymous]

"I could care less." drives me nuts!
It's "I couldn't care less." folks!

There. I feel better now.

It's annoying but I think it is with an s in UK spelling.

Supposably instead of supposedly

Arrgh, I hate this one. And MIL--otherwise lovely--always says this. God help me, I have managed for five years not to correct her. Here's hoping for another five!

My mother does that too. I might ask if you are my wife, but there is no way either of us would refer to my mom as "otherwise lovely" because she is a train wreck. Maybe "supposably" is a generational thing?

Hopefully means 'in a hopeful manner' not 'I hope'.

Unique cannot be qualified. There is no such thing as "more unique."

Guilty.

When people use except and accept interchangeably, I go crazy on the inside!

Another one. Striked instead of stricken.

The verbiage has to be stricken not "striked"

No people. She went to the mall with Larla and ME! ME! ME!

Just ask Larla or myself if that is correct!

Just ask Larla or me.

Only I ask myself.

I am good.

I am well.

Both correct. Hate when people correct, I am good.

NO!!!! "This is a picture of Larla and me!"

The funny thing is that the poster always thinks they are being grammatically correct. They think "This is a picture of Larla and me" is wrong.

The poster always thinks he or she is correct. The posters always think they are correct.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm Jamaican, so I'm allowed to respond that way

I've always said "no problem" out of habit.(Indian) No problem, usually says "no big deal, I'm happy to help".

The incorrect meaning has actually become so common that it was added to the AP stylebook a couple of years ago.

And I'll admit to using "drive safe" even though I know it's wrong. "Drive safely" just sounds oddly uptight (to my ear, at least) when you're saying goodbye to friends.

In the usual context, only the second is correct. People are typically not asking if you are good or bad.
