"then", because often it's the wrong word, and they mean "than".
"off of" is annoying as well.

I hate seeing ppl write "That being said....etc etc" or "Having said that...."

I also hate the word caloric for some reason.

I hate the term "Lappy" I want to f'n strangle someone any time see it.

It's an f'ing laptop..you're only saving 1 letter using lappy.. and it's sounds ghey.

That is quite odd. That being said, however, I love the word "Schfifty Five." :heart:

Let me add "ghey" to my list. I mean, it takes one extra letter to write it like that and if you're worried about offending someone, then you just should find a different word altogether, don't you think?
