"Irregardless" still bugs me.

"The reason I called is because I had to ...."

No! The reason is THAT you had to.....

Being a Spanish teacher, you learn to be patient with language.

I'm no syntax/grammar prince, myself, and I do curse like a Mississippi sailor when I'm with my friends.

Basically

[TomM]

"...frankly..."
"...to tell you the truth..."
"...honestly..."

These three lead me to believe the person has been not telling the truth up to that point, but now 'trust me'...

"at the end of the day"......

Yes that is one irritating phrase, why not the beginning of the day or the middle of the day..........😾

The one that bothers me is when people say they want to "axe" a question.  Its ASK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[imnofish]

"Be"...    I be sayin' that she be sayin' that you be sayin'....    

"Word"...   Glad you were able to identify a basic component of human communication there, Einstein!  

"Rap music"...  should have a "c" in front of it; the two words together present the ultimate oxymoron, IMO.  Of course, I'm probably guilty of becoming the grumpy old man, here.  You kids stay off my lawn!!!!
