“I could care less” when they really mean “I couldn’t care less.”

Not to mention, “supposablee” for supposedly
and....”irregardless” a joint mangling of irrespective and regardless
Of late, the non-word “anyways” seems to be popular, as does the weird “all of the sudden.”
The word "like" before any statement...
It was "like" cold. When my kids say that I ask them....Was it "cold"? or was it "like cold"... meaning it was almost, near or somewhat approaching cold... they ususally roll the eyes and laugh.
“....”irregardless” a joint mangling of irrespective and regardless”
I could not agree more. “Irregardless” is not a freaking word but you’d be surprised at how often I hear it around the office from supposedly educated people.
One of my biggest peeves is the word “co-conspirator”. Conspiracy by its nature means more than one, so how can one be a “co-conspirator”? Isn’t everyone in on the conspiracy a conspirator? Or do they have to be elevated to a “co-conspirator”?
Ok, done with ranting and I am now putting away the soapbox.
