Not a word (peeve thread - what's yours?)

There aren't many that I can't think of. Most of the non words mentioned here I never hear. Ax or aksk (as in a question) is something I do hear sometimes, and I hate it.

As far as local non words here in the Pittsburgh area, the two that get me the most
yinz. used instead of you all. Just seems so trashy to me.
Pixburgh. this isn't as widely used as yinz, but far too many people say it.

Most the Pittsburghese (as they call it) doesn't bother me, but these two do.
 
“I’s”. I read it here frequently. “We went to dinner for DH & I’s anniversary”. No such word & no, it doesn’t make you sound classy to say it. The possessive of I is my or mine. One of the few times I want to correct someone.
 
Phrases that aren’t phrases-

Would of
Could of
Should of

I know these are more grammar, but still. As soon as I see this, I assume the writer isn’t that smart.
If I would of known, I could of saved you the trouble and just told you I'm not that smart. :)
 


Previously mentioned... "Kiddos"

Using the word "myself" improperly.
Using the word "I" improperly.


I work with somebody who says eXpecially. She is super nice, but it makes me want to throw my tape dispenser at her.
