I hate it when people misuse commonly used phrases.
Like, I could care less. The correct phrase is "I couldn't care less." If you could care less, well, then you care.
I had a teacher in high school who loved the phrase "needless to say."
"Yesterday I was walking and I saw a girl trip and fall. Needless to say, she was a student of mine."
What? If it was needless to say, we should have known it before you said it. We didn't know it, so it wasn't needless to say.
This is my new favorite: In my family finance class, there's a girl who likes to ask "random questions."
Like: "Random question, how do I budget when I'm living off loans?"
That's not a random question. We're in a finance class. Learning about budgeting. It is a completely relevant question. She asked at least 3 "random questions" in one class period.
