Other words and phrases that bug me :

"supposively" should be "supposedly"

"very unique" (Can anything be very one-of-a-kind?)

"whenever" instead of "when" ( "Whenever I went to my mom's last Tuesday...")

Myself" when it should be "me" ("Feel free to call Don or myself with questions." No, feel free to call Don or me.) Check it by leaving "Don or" out. Feel free to call me.

less/fewer mix-ups Use fewer on things that can be counted, less on things that can't. I want fewer weeds in my garden I want less garden work. We need fewer gums flapping. We need less chatter.
