I hate it when people say 'could of' instead of 'could have', and 'somethink' instead of 'something'
These mistakes drive me up the wall!

OOOH! OOOH!
1) Where's my camera AT?
( Ugh!!!)
2) Irregardless.
3) These ones
Those are the only things I can think of off the top of my head.
(All are my pet peeves - listed in order, of course.)
I also really can't stand how people say I-RACK for Iraq or I-RAN for Iran.
I once saw a really beautiful, exotic girl and asked her what her background was and she said her parents were from I-RAN.
Pretty sad if she can't even pronounce it properly.
Oh, I just remembered another one.
Have you went.
Ex. - Have you heard about that new Italian restaurant down the street? It's supposed to be fabulous.
"Oh, yeah! It's great! Have you went there yet?"
Grrrrrrrrrr.
**Legandivori's answer is great. I want that on a t-shirt so I can educate the uneducated. HA!!!

Never use a prepostion to end a sentence with.

A lot of people say anyways. It should be anyway.

A whole nother. That one really bugs me.
It's "an other" or "another"; not "a nother"!

you did something "good"
you should say you did something "well"
good is an adjective, it describes things
well is an adwerb, it describes how you do things
