"Could of" where it should be "could have". Years of abbreviating the latter to "could've" has resulted in hordes of annoying people using the former. Gah, face-punching time.
Oh and with phrases like "same difference" and "My bad", my teeth start grinding and I have to force my fists to unclench

Ahh, that explains that, then. I tend to avoid their music, it infuriates me for reasons I'm uncertain of.Lion_Slicer said:
'Guesstimate' is one of the many reasons I don't talk to my Dad. I also can't stand the phrase, 'Same Difference'. The same difference between a katana and a broadsword is that they are both not a battle axe.
it means people who discriminate or otherwise disrespect others for being gay, right? what do people you know use it to mean?Daffy F said:
"Then" in place of "than". Learn the fucking difference between two completely different words please, people!
People are use these words correctly are greater THAN people who do not.
I'm going to beat the people who misuse these words around the head with an iron bar and THEN go get a McDonald's.

"Gay" and "Epic"
Gay meant Happy now it means homosexual but for some reason someone from the KKK decided to use it as in insult and it was then picked up by Gay Fearers who thought calling someone the thing they fear the best insult they can throw.
and Epic is so overly used for non epic material that its almost nol(Is that how its spelled?) and void.

"Phobic" means a fear of something. "Homophobic" is used to mean a fear of homosexuals. However, "homo" means "same" so it really means fear of the same.interspark said:

Bet. It's perfectly good word, it's just that nearly everyone I know says things like "I bet you!" in place of beat. It's not hard to remember. The past/present/future tenses of it all start with it. "I will beat you." "I am beating you." "I beat you."
