I can’t stand the word “empowered”.

I can’t stand the phrase “I see what you did there”.

I hate anyone who uses the non-word “prolly” as a lazy way of saying “probably”.

I can’t stand the word “Latina”, and now I am starting to see the word “Muslima” which is even worse.

I can’t stand people who speak in a perfectly normal American accent, and then when encountering a Spanish word or name, switch into a phony exaggerated Hispanic accent, and then go back to their normal speech patterns once they get past the Spanish words.

I hate it when black people who are perfectly capable of speaking standard English switch into Ebonics when addressing other blacks (e.g. Barack Obama).

Even worse is when white people switch into Ebonics when addressing blacks (e.g. Hillary Clinton).

I don't know, it's kind of humorous. I don't think the user of "prolly" actually believes probably is spelled that way. It's more of an affectation than a misspell. On the others I agree with you.
