People that say "sherbeRt" in reference to the frozen ice-cream-like dessert...I've looked in a dictionary and there's no "r" in the word. It's SHERBET. Oops, red-faced here, I thought it was sherbert.
Put me down for left-lane vigilantes. Get out of my way!!! And the word "irregardless". Ugh...

"And the word "irregardless". Ugh..."
Me too re:'irregardless'. Sadly, Webster's bowed down to this ignorance and actually added it as a 'real word' to their dictionary.
That, and the constant irritation of people using apostrophes rather than plural form.
Use 's to signify possession. Use "s" by itself to show plurality. Use s' to indicate plural possession.
Ex. "The Smiths live in the Smiths' house. They visited John Doe's house, who was a bachelor living alone."
NOT "The Smith's live in the Smiths house."

I never knew about the sherbet thing till I once looked it up in a dictionary for some reason or another...

How about "nevertheless"? If we made more neverthe's, maybe the nevertheless could have some too.

irregardless of the spelling of Sherbet, Orange Sherbet will always be Orange Sherbert to me ;)
My biggest is a toss up between: people who don't turn their lights on in rain, fog, dawn, dusk, night, tunnels, etc and people who don't buckle their kid's seat belt.
