People who say IRREGARDLESS!
Just because "W" uses it doesn't make it an acceptable word to use! Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

Actually, inflammable isn't technically a word. It is a byproduct of the inflammation, which is a medical term for something that is infected/etc...The word inflammable came about to be the same as flammable through incorrect usage.

I can't stand that either & I really can't stand when people over-use the word "ignorant". They are usually hicks who don't even use is correctly.

A related item: "PIN number" is redundant. I notice that at least some people have tried to get around the obvious stupidity of "PIN number" by referring to it as a "PIN code." Duh -- how about just "PIN?"
