All pet peeves of mine.
"I would like it known I know the difference nad can use them accurately" is a really weak excuse. Prove it with your words, lazy-butt.
I don't expect people to be English majors either and even my speech patterns noticeably change depending on my company, but constant misuse makes you look like you just don't know any better. When the written word is exactly how we communicate, it always amazes me that people aren't more conscious of trying to communicate better.
In addition to those already listed; others on my list: "aks," "asterick," "anyways"
Wow, all the "a" words - go figure.
