words that make you grit your teeth

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Surrealistic. "Surreal" is usually quite sufficient.
Same thing with minimalistic. Minimal usually works fine. This one is ironic to boot, because the word minimalistic is hardly minimal.

Loose instead of lose....as in "I don't want to lose my shirt".

Folage or foilage instead of foliage, as in Autumn foliage.

Putting apostrophes in plurals where they don't belong, as in "My bike's are for sale."

I also am annoyed that the quaint old term "buck naked" has now apparently been changed to "butt naked".

Yeah I laugh at peddle instead of pedal too.
But I'll confess- the other day I had typed "handelbars" instead of handlebars. I caught it just before I posted it though! I attribute it to too much exposure to classical music in my youth.
