Personally for me its probably whenever people act like certain things are mistakes when they aren't, such as AAVE or alike, being grammatically incorrect, whenever, firstly, even grammar is dependent on things like dialect. The difference between a dialect and another language is not always clear, and is in some cases, incredibly unclear).
AAVE actually has a lot of features which most other dialects / forms of English does not. Some verb tenses for instance:[media=https://youtu.be/tqA_7kgij7M]
A lot of these (incorrect) standards exist because of old British guys liking Latin and wanting to systematize language in a frankly unnatural way.
That being said, the other comment about English orthography being all messed up is one that peevs me as well.
Another one, although I try not to care about it, is people screwing up "your" and "you're" peevs me a bit.

Sometimes when I smoke I'll say things like "would of" instead of "would have" without realizing it.

Using words that don’t exist like irregardless.

@Bowenw New words come into existence through people using words that don't exist. Shakespeare used a ton of words that don't exist, and if you look, they do now, commonly in fact.
Language doesn't start as an organized system that people then bend to, language is a thing people use that then slowly becomes *more* systematized, but is never perfectly systematic.
That being said, irregardless is kind of a weird one. I wonder if the point is to say "the previous stuff was kind of irrelevant, regardless." I do not know, but if thats the case, its a contraction.
