That is one of my pet peeves. Mind you I never say anything, but so many people make that mistake. Also, they say a point is mute. Funny, but not the right word (moot).

The other often heard is “wreck havoc” which is a nonsense.

Another one I've seen a lot lately:

"marshal law"

The moderator of a gun-related forum I visit has that as his handle. Most fitting, IMO.

I get irritated at noone.

Noone is going to do that or I saw a car wreck, noone was hurt.

Who the hell is NOONE!!!! It’s TWO WORDS PEOPLE NO ONE.

By the way, it’s RIDiculous!!! Not REDiculous.

Lol, I’ll stop.
