For me, the worst currently are:
For me, the worst currently are:
- Between you and I... (or any similar use of I in oblique positions)
- If I was a betting person... (or any similar failure to use the subjunctive)
- Attempts to make non-existent verbs out of nouns
That and cuz.
Also "my friend". In real life, people only say that ironically or to strangers.

The Oxford comma is an abomination. The other is called a greengrocer's apostrophe.

I'm pretty carefree about language unless it becomes difficult to understand
