Words/Phrases That Drive You Bonkers
After 20 years in my soon to be former industry......surrounded by potheads......the word 'Cheers' makes me want to scream.
Second place goes to 'Like'...... 
Any thoughts?

Your instead of you're
Their instead of they're
Dropping the u from words like colour.
Center instead of centre
Caliber instead of calibre
Deers being used as a the plural for deer.... fishes instead of fish in the same context.
yo... ho... peeps... disrespected as in you disrespected me...

Bullet instead of cartridge... especially when they fire the whole cartridge out of the muzzle in moves. >.<
Person: Pass me the bullets!
Me: Don't you want the rest of the cartridge too? I promise it will work better!

"Them" used in place of "Those"

"Congrads" It's "congrats" as in short for congratulations.
"Yous" as a plural for "you"

Yep. Me too.
Although I can't help but think that the "discharge" comment is bringing back some terrible memories from the '60's for poor RedFrog.

It bugs me a bit when people use the word 'utilize' when 'use' will do just fine.
