Word's or sayings you dislike
<t>Apostrophes in plurals, that's a big pet peeve. "Should of" or "Would of" instead of "Should have" or "would have". "Irregardless"...argh. There's no such word.

I like Prince too. This performance, quite plainly, sucked. It was badly staged, the sound was terrible, the choice of music was odd, and he definitely had a wardrobe malfunction - when he picked what he was going to wear. Love him in a hat. The Aunt Jemima rag has GOT to go.
