Little things that bother you

...when people get 'much' and 'many' wrong. Or 'less' and 'fewer'.
You can have too much pizza. But you have too 'many' pancakes. Not too much pancakes. 😅

(CAN you have 'too much' pizza? Bad example...)

Anyway, what small irritations that you should be able to ignore do you wish didn't happen?

"I could care less"

When people say, "I'm like ...." when they should be saying, "I thought ...," or "I said ... ."

This is passing into standard use, to my chagrin. Educated people who should know better say it, and it drives me nuts!

hi fattyem
yes you can have too much pizza in the same way as you can have too much pancake.

@sogdianrock You didn't read properly :)
I said you can have 'too much pizza', but you can't have 'too much pancake[b]S[/b]'

If you have a number of something, it's 'many'. If you have an amount of something, it's 'much'.

You can have too much pancake.

It's a pluralization mistake.

Too many pizzas. Too much pizza.

Too much cake. Too many cakes.

If a competent person helps someone these things are easily corrected.

I know people can do what they want, but it really bothers me when someone isn't organized. 😂

The mistaken use of "your" for the contraction "you're."

I see it here on SW all the time.
