I know this has been called to his attention yet he insists on saying it incorrectly.
Well, at least he did not say artichoke and would thus be racist

Along with “could care less”, I will add “revert back” as a phrase that irritates me.
I even see well educated people on TV saying “revert back”.
It’s a modern saying.
You probably need a cup of hot cocoa and a nap
I “could” care less.
Unpeeling sounds better than delayering.
Back in 1998 you would be have been roasted for this vanity.Reply buttons plastered all over the page.... 300+ replies, a quarter of them asking if he was logged in...

In the spirit of this somewhat useless thread, I might point out that it would have been difficult to use it before it was sent to you.
Let’s now turn our attention to things that have fallen “between the cracks “...
Does it bother you when you hear “off TEN” which seems to be happening more and more? Now I am even hearing people say “sof TEN” for soften!
Does it bother you when you hear people say “did DENT”, “could DENT, or “would DENT” for didn’t, couldn’t or wouldn’t?
Does it bother you when you hear people misuse “myself”? (You can only use myself, herself, himself, etc., if you first use “I”, “she” or “he” in a sentence. If you can use the word “I” or “me” in that place in the sentence, “myself” is wrong.
Does the phrase “me and her” bother you?
And most of all, does it bother you to hear people use singular subject and plural object? (example: Tell that person they need to improve their grammar.)
Mixing up “who” and “whom” is forgivable, I suppose.
What is happening to the pronunciation of our language, let alone grammar? What offense against the Queen’s English will occur next?
What’s worse is that Sean consistently interrupts his guests

Friend of mine constantly say’s ‘’irregardless’’. I try to tell him that’s not a word. ‘’Regardless’’ stands on it’s own meaning. “Regard’’, from the French ‘’to look’’. ‘’Regardless’’, ‘’without looking’’. He never gets it.
Years ago, a coworker and I had another coworker who used “irregardless” constantly. We eventually came up with “disirregardlessly” and began working it into a sentence. I swear the other guy never noticed we were making fun of him.
