The one the irritates me the most is when people say I could care less. It's not so much the saying that annoys me, it's the fact that 95% of the time it is said incorrectly. The phrase is I couldn't care less. If you could care less, it means you harbor some level of caring about a given subject matter. If you couldn't care less, it means that there is no room to care any less than you already do; hence, you are already at the lowest possible caring factor.

Ooh, I hate this one, too! I think it makes one sound very stupid. I have to resist the urge to correct others when I hear them say this...
