old adage - an adage, something expressing a tradtional idea(proverb) in and of itself must be old. Hence, old adage = old/old story. Ha, very redundant.

"Momentarily" to mean "in a moment." I always want to say, it means FOR a moment, people! But that would make me a big dork, not to say unpopular in my workplace, where people say it ALL the time. Otherwise smart people.

Personally, I don't give a rat's whisker about the distinction between "its" and "it's" (i know darn well the correct usage and deliberately misuse it anyway, so kill me), but the thing that sometimes irritates me is some peoples' propensity to hyper-apostrophize any word ending in "s", plural or not, posessive or not.

We're talking about ADULTS here, and it is all too common.

An extreme example: One time, in a big city, I saw a fast food joint with a hand painted sign on the side that _literally_ advertised:

BURGER'S FRIE'S SHAKE'S

OK, "burger's and shake's" I can forgive, but "FRIE'S"?! Come ON, people! You're making me want to scoop my own eye's out with spoon's!

Literally.

I'm just loving that word: afroth.

Nice usage!

Woohoo! COOL TRIBE! (Thanks D.M.K....)

"disorientated" -- As in, I got off the bus and I was completely disorientated.

That kills my soul.

"I could of gone home"

have, people...
HAVE

I could have gone home...

I have seen "She is literally the dark horse of the family."

Amusing.

And while we're sharing about apostrophes, yesterday I saw "though's" for "those."

Don't forget the similar and common abuse of "physically" as an intensifier.

On the positive side, VR hype seems to have killed off the previously common use of "virtually" to mean "almost" or "effectively".
