People that use question marks in non-question sentences just to be extra snippy and condescending. Fuck that.

When people refer to metal balls as ball bearings. A ball bearing is an assembly of outer ring, inner ring, balls, and a cage/retainer. I worked in bearing manufacture for years and they're just referred to as balls. To be more specific, it would be a bearing ball, not a ball bearing.
More of a grammatical mistake, but "should of" instead of "should've" or "should have" annoys the hell out of me for some reason. I completely get how people make the mistake, but it's more effort than just typing it correctly.

underwhelming
Content, when referring to media.
Influencer
I quite like influencer I think it's good that they are called what they are being paid to do and not trying to hide. It's surprising honestly from a very dishonest industry.
Well, thatβs a very interesting take on that and I never quite thought of it that way. Thank you
"For me"
I know it's your opinion because you're the one saying it. And the construction of it is just weird. "For" me. I dunno.
on the internet everything is true. therefore if you don't preface your thoughts with "CW: opinion" your writing permanently alters reality and people will be angry at you for inconveniencing them.
imho.

Not specifically a word, but i hate when people mix english with their native language
Its especially worse when they use words that are nearly identical
I recently heard someone say after they almost accidentally went in a wrong building entrance, "Good thing I didn't do that or I would regret my life choices."
A bit much for something minor that created no more than two seconds of awkwardness.
