Good one --
Also how about "irregardless" -- which is really just regardless. From the non-profit fund raising world:
I/he/she/we wrote a grant. No, you wrote a proposal and you received (or were denied) a grant.
Starting a sentence with "anymore." Anymore, we don't got to the drive in movies.
He/she is on a diet. Everyone has a diet, some are healthy, some are terrible, and some are designed to lose weight. __________________
