"I could care less" which is wrong-wrong-wrong.
The expression is "I care so little I couldn't possibly care less!"
or "I couldn't care less!" ;-P

Heard too often (and have read it twice so far in the latest book on my
list): "They wished he would have had the time..." instead of
"They wished he had had the time."

Are people afraid to use the word "me" instead of "I"?
"The prize was given to my husband and I"-- Yikes!
In today's newspaper: "The children she taught, like her, were poor foster
children." Oy!

But it's that first one that makes me holler, "You could, too!" ;-P

Ragmop/Sandy-- too tired to quilt another minute after spending time
working in the yard; set out some of my flagstones until
it got too hot (86*), extending the rock garden

My biggest pet peeve in this category is "your" when the writer really means
"you're." It's everywhere!

Or 'myself' instead of 'me'. Perhaps people are so full of their own
importance that they choose a more important sounding name!
