It’s not really a grammar mistake but the use of words that do not exist just pushes me over the top.

When I hear people on TV, especially educated people, use words like “co-conspirator” and “irregardless” I just wish to punch my TV and be done with it.

What’s wrong with co-conspirator? It’s a legitimate word that’s been in use for 160 years.
