Here are my peeves.
"Could care less." If you could care less, than you must care some amount. It's supposed to be "couldn't care less."
"Graduated" high school. It should be "graduated FROM high school". And going even further back (50 years?), they used to say "WAS graduated from high school."
That didn't "phase" me. The word is actually spelled faze.
"Nonplussed". This means the opposite of what many folks think it does. It means shocked, or speechless. People mis-use it when they mean unfazed, or unaffected.
