Default Sayings that people totally butcher.....

Some examples of phrases and words I hear almost daily that are totally wrong and/or misused:

"I could care less"
-----really? Personally, when I don't really care "I couldn't care less"

"Orientated"
----not a word. Its oriented.

Irregardless
-----not technically a word. Its regardless.

and a bit obscure, but...

"Chomping at the bit"
-----wrong. Its "champing at the bit". Everyone says chomping




Please add yours and/or just call me a nit.

"I could care less"......

Irregardless of the fact that this thread has been done several times, you were obviously just chomping at the bit to do it again. I suggest you become orientated with the search function...or not. Really I could care less.

"Due to."

Unacceptable in most situations that people commonly use it.

"Very uniquely."

You don't hear this that much but when you do, people deserve to be shot.
