My pet peeve is peevish people practicing prejudice per perverse personal prohibition.
Oh, and alliteration.

Colleges of Nursing all over America are responsible for “orientating”, “orientated”. Drives me crazy.
I know I’m late to the thread, but my own top pet peeve is the misuse of the phrase “beg the question”. It does not simply mean to raise or call for a question. The meaning is to reason from a point which has been assumed, not proven. Too many people have heard the phrase somewhere, and think they’ll sound all intellectual by using it, but have no idea of its actual meaning.
(Oh, and another peeve is putting an apostrophe in the possessive of “it”.)
Maybe I was out that day, but what is a “price point”?
One that really irks me and gets my ire up is when the pimple-faced cashier says, “that’s gonna be $9.40”. I always want to say, “that’s fine, but I want to know what it is NOW!”
