I have to say my biggest annoyance is the misuse of the word "went" when it should be "gone" i.e. "He should have went there" instead of "He should have gone there". It just really annoys me especially as I'm starting to hear it more and more in conversation with younger people as well as in the written word.

Whenever I see it in a book it just makes me cringe and wonder if you actually require any qualifications to be an editor/proofreader nowadays.
Ranks alongside the cringe-inducing "If I would've known" ...
