The general decline of the English language. Speaking/Spelling - I cringe at: "I seen it" "Yous guys" "It don't matter" - just to name a few.
Ditto! Especially the use of "I" and "me".... or when to say "more" or "most" instead of ending an adjective with "-er" or "-est". My mother corrected me every time until I got it right! It was annoying at the time, but I'm thankful today.
