Everybody should stop saying these things:
"I could care less"
"It's besides the point"
"Nucular"
Any others?
Using the words quote, unquote while speaking. Drives me up the wall.

shareWritten/typed: Why do so many people seem unable to get the difference between 'lose' and 'loose', and 'brake' and 'break'?
shareHow about “curb” (reduce”) and “kerb” (the barrier that separates the road from the sidewalk)?
shareWhen talking about a road edge, I believe that one depends on where you live. I write the word so infrequently I often can't remember which one to use myself - having of course read both in different sources so much that the difference gets muddled.
And then it depends if you're communicating with a person from a part of the world where it's different, then they might have an issue with it lol.
As for 'curb' (your enthusiasm for instance), kerb just looks weird there so I haven't had that one mixed up in the past.
"We need to hydrate".
How about "Lets drink some water."?

share“Y’know what Um sayin’?” “I do not, nor do you. You are inarticulate.”
“I’m jes’ sayin’” You said something idiotic and got called out on it, and you erroneously think of this fortune cookie of a saying is a Get Out Of Jail Free Card. It’s often heard in trailer parks and mass-market retail stores store-level management meetings.
Yep, "I'm just saying" is nothing more than a weak after-excuse for being an obnoxious asshole.
You were just saying, were you? Did you think we didn't hear you and you had to tell us that you were just saying? We heard you and it's too late to try and excuse your dickhead statement with some handwave nonsense about how you were just saying. You just said it, why are you now telling us you were 'just saying' it?

Granted, I think that one's calmed down quite a bit in recent years.
