Also using "their" as a singular pronoun referencing anything belonging to a person of unknown gender is pretty universal now. "His or her" just doesn't flow nicely.

The ones that get me the most are single words. Irregardless, flammable, misunderestimated... lol

My biggest pet peeve though is people who say they want to "go to Chipolte for lunch". It's not "Chipolte". It's "Chipotle". I realize it isn't an english-specific word, but come on. I can understand difficulty with pronouncing certain vowels or consonants that are slightly different than our own, but re-arranging the order of the letters in a word?

That's only forgivable if you are 4 years old or lysdexic.
I actually can't stand when people say "ChipotLe". Really, it should be said with an almost silent L, so "Chipolte" is a more correct sound to the proper pronunciation with the word. At least, when I asked a couple Mexican family friends who live by us, that was the explanation I received.
To be honest though, that restaurant is owned by McDonalds. So I could hardly care about it, except when my friends find beetles in their burritos.
