I hate it when people say " yeah I do " when they mean " yes I have " or evan worse " if I would 've " instead of " if I had "

Several niggles:-
the start of every sentence with the word 'basically'.
when agreeing with something, the excessive use of the word ' absolutely'
when explaining something, the constant inclusion of the expression ' Yeh?'
sounding the H in 'heir to the throne', so it becomes ' hair to the throne'
using the phrase 'up to speed', when meaning 'up to date'
when listening to customer services staff on the telephone, the phrase 'bear with me a moment', instead of 'wait a moment please'
I could go on ( maybe I'm easily irritated ), but the one that bugs me the most is when people use 'I' instead of 'me' after the word 'for' or 'to' - eg. 'He gave it to you and I' Instead of 'He gave it to you and me' or 'He did it for you and I', instead of 'He did it for you and me' I always want to jump in with the correction (but I don't).

When people say "evan worse", no mate only taking the piss. On here the illiterate chavy way people spell things, like m8 or innit or the other million stupid words that take hour an hour to decipher

There are many.. many of them. Some people don't seem to speak English, they're making up their own language.
But what bothers me the most is when they say things like:
"I had went..." - "I done it".
I've always wondered, what would they do if they had to speak a language with a lot of conjugations???

ABSOLUTELY hate the way the letter O has been replacing the number Zero in phone numbers etc!!
IT'S a NOUGHT people not Oh ........ 0200 670 001 is not said oh200 67oh oh oh one...it's Zero 200 67ZERO ZERO ZERO ONE!!!
If you all forget this then when you see a serial number written down how are you going to know if it is a NOUGHT or an OH!!!!
The other one is all the unnecessary UMMMM's you hear people saying......I know they are thinking but some people use it like a comma!! Just count how many times you hear it on TV during a show or the news and it is amazing!!

Can I only say one aspect?
OK then, the use of an apostrophe in plural words. Eg, I bought two book's and three pen's when I went to the shop's.
It really gets to me!

inserting "or whatnot" as a catch all for finishing a list. END THE LIST WITH SOMETHING VALID. Adding whatnot to a list immediately makes me doubt the validity of explicit points.

I have loads!
- when people get brought and bought mixed up, like "I brought a paper at the newsagents"
- the whole chave talk and txt speak. Why can't people spell you, mate, late(r), etc.
- When people say they 'love' celebreties, or for their crushes.
I have loads more, but I can't think at the moment, haha.

When Bush keeps using "comprehensive immigration reform" instead of the correct word, "Amnesty."

The ones that annoy me the most is when a person is speaking and they add,"You know" to the end of it. Or,they will add,"Know what I'm sayin"?

when people say everythink or anythink instead of everything and anything. Also "I ain't got none" instead "I don't have any" well annoying!
just thought of another example "I don't even want to hear this"
grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
