Using the word 'of' instead of 'have' is my biggest one these days. - Edit 1

For me, the worst currently are:
  1. Between you and I... (or any similar use of I in oblique positions)
  2. If I was a betting person... (or any similar failure to use the subjunctive)
  3. Attempts to make non-existent verbs out of nouns



For instance, - I see he could of rather than he could have.

I also do not care when people don't understand the difference between accept/except.

And lastly I am not a fan of misuse of apostrophes.

This is how I feel when I see the offending word.
