I have three new gripes:
People who pronounce "and" with a "t" as "ant". One of the women at my workplace does this and it drives me NUTS.
The second item is that people are now beginning to add an "s" to pluralize things that don't need it, as in "aircrafts", and (just yesterday in a news article) "spacecrafts". It never saw this until a few months ago, now it is becoming more common. Once a bad habit starts it is hard to get it stopped, which brings up gripe number three:
90 % of the time when someone says "impact" they really mean "affect". A few days ago I listened to a new broadcaster say "impact" about a dozen times in two minutes. Ten years ago, this wasn't an issue, but it has become a bad habit promoted by illiterate TV and radio people. I realize they are usually just reading the teleprompter, so maybe they need a new teleprompter writer.
