A guy I share an office with is one of our salesmen...always on the phone, and says the following statement 50 frikin-kajillion times a day and it makes my ears bleed every time he does...

SERIOUSLY???

fourteenandoh;1193568; said:it's not just here but everywhere i turn it seems that people need a refresher on the use of the following... (it's a pet peeve of mine)
your- used to indicate ownership
you're- contraction meaning you are
their- possesive of they, indicates ownership
there- a location
they're- they are
thank you, class dismissed

Catch phrases in commercials currently running on TV:
"Water smart"
(one can't water smart because smart is an adjective and water is a verb in this case. Adjectives do not modify verbs. That's why we have adverbs - water smartly)
"Expect great"
(one cannot expect great because great is an adjective, not a noun. One can expect greatness, though)
Those are just 2 current examples of how we use adjectives for everything, even when they don't make sense. I swear I see it every day.

Used ironically, irregardless is particularly genious - irregardless of it's non-official status.
That being said, people answering questions with "yeah, no..." drives me crazy. Your answer cannot be both affirmative and negative. Pick a side!
