Harassment where the emphasis sounds like "Hairassment" vs the emphisis being "Harassment". Many news anchors use the first pronunciation, for some reason. |

This reminds me of something funny from the first job I had after completing undergraduate college. I took a position located in a very small town in South Carolina. The local television was often a real hoot. Things like commercials from local furniture stores with lines like “A real bargain on a complete bedroom suit.” Even the local news would come out with national news items like something that happened in San Jose, California; pronounced by the news person “San Joe-zee.”

The phrase I hated most when I lived in Texas, was "Might Could" - as in : "We might could go to the store." or "I might could do that." Every time I heard it I wanted to just run away screaming "Aaaaarrrgggg!!!!!!!!" with my hands over my ears. |

Literally
It is so misused: "I literally have a million things to do today", etc. I hear this word used in this manner so often the word has lost it's meaning... |

"organic"
I hate over used buzz words and this one seems to be getting a lot of play lately. |
