Mine is people using are instead of our. I hear this all the time from social media, news reporters, and I see in in writing. Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.
When I email someone a quick question that could be answered in like 6 words and, 90 seconds later, they’re calling my phone.
Text from my direct report at 7am Saturday morning: “Please call me as soon as possible!!!”
I call immediately. Him: “I can’t talk right now, when is a good time to call you back?” Me:
“Just call me when you can, omg.”
Him: Calls me three hours later to take 20 minutes explaining why he needs an afternoon off two months from now.
Me: “This could have been a text, Pablo.”
Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.
I’m not sure if I’ve seen this, is this about the pronunciation?
Yeah, I’ve never seen or heard that either. I’m sure there our plenty of dialects where those two words sounds similar or identical.

“Lead” is a heavy metal.
News articles that use slam and other internet clickbait title terminology.
Would also like to stop hearing the word Unhinged. I don’t think it carries any value anymore.
