rediculous is ridiculous

There is no such word as "alot".

Aggys are not "loosers", they are losers.

irregardless
One entry found.

Main Entry: ir·re·gard·less
Function: adverb
Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless
Date: circa 1912
nonstandard : regardless
usage: Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

little bumps on your body are WELTS not WHELPS. Those are small dogs.
 
You do not "get untracked." You get on track.

"That doesn't jive with..." is the one I frequently see on Hornfans that snaps me.
 
"Try another tact" has been popping up lately. It's "tack."

I don't see this much on here but I've started hearing lots of Yankees using "any more" inappropriately. Stuff like "Any more the dollar isn't worth as much as it used to be."
 
You don't run a gauntlet.

Buy or borrow Bryson's Dictionary of Troublesome Words. Scientists say it'll make you look like a genus.
