"Myself" instead of "me" or "I." As in, "she gave it to myself" or "Bob and myself went to the park today." It should be used only for reflexive verbs, as in "I spend all day muttering to myself about prescriptive grammar."

How often do you hear this? So annoying.

How should it be pronounced?

You're kidding, right? Just checking.
Say there, original pp, do you mean they said "cashay" when they meant "cache"? You do know that there's a word "cachet" that is pronounced "cashay," right?


Yep, saying cashay when they mean cache. Probably think it is the same word and has the same meaning.

Concerning in the wrong context. You can call your mom and say "Hi Mom, I am calling concerning your broken leg." That is proper usage. While you may be concerned about her led, you do not then say "My mom has a broken leg and it is rather concerning." That second usage is wrong.

Mute when you mean Moot. The lawyers out there will know what I mean.

"What you got?" or "how many eggs you got?"' I don't know what that is-regional, class, education--whatever but it is so wrong and I take my kids to a little kids gym and all the nannies talk to their charges that way!

Less when fewer is appropriate.

All the business and consulting terms. Deliverable, out of pocket, task as a verb, etc.

Baby bump. Pacific instead of specific. When people say "like" all the time. Double negatives.
