When people refer to metal balls as ball bearings. A ball bearing is an assembly of outer ring, inner ring, balls, and a cage/retainer. I worked in bearing manufacture for years and they're just referred to as balls. To be more specific, it would be a bearing ball, not a ball bearing.

"Would of" annoys me to no end. Which is silly because English isn't my first language and I know I make many mistakes, but would of is just... Ugh. Ick.

"At the end of the day..."

People that use question marks in non-question sentences just to be extra snippy and condescending. Fuck that.

I unreasonably hate the word "moreover". I see no reason why you wouldn't use the words "also", "additionally", or even "furthermore" that sound way better when read.

Bemused

It's used incorrectly so often that even when I suspect it's being used correctly I can't be sure. At this point its ambiguity makes it a bad word choice.

"Completely different" when the two things are actually very similar

Every stupid phrase that redditors compulsively say on every thread.

Cleanse. it's a less efficient way to spell clean.

Property, when referring to a house/home.

actually huge pet peeve when people write out erm at all. also poor public speaking really bothers me. slow, with "um"s and "so like"s, monotone. really, really makes a work meeting drag by

Exspecially

All intensive purposes

Irregardless

I could care less

"Oftentimes"

Its always interchangeable with Often. Just use Often.

Starting every sentence with "So". "So" being the way to indicate the beginning of a sentence.

The exception that proves the rule.

People use it in a way where counterexample proofs that the rule exist when it's supposed to mean that the rule also handles exceptional cases.

"For me"

I know it's your opinion because you're the one saying it. And the construction of it is just weird. "For" me. I dunno.
