Indelible Aspect :
my linguistics pet peeve is when people say "I have no accent" because that is literally not possible dawg 😭 also it feels mildly xenophobic to me.

when people say "could care less" instead of "couldn't care less" the conjunction makes a difference in the meaning of the phrase

When people “correct” hyperbolic use of literally. People act like they’ve never made an exaggeration before.

when people use actual clinical terms to be quirky (ocd, narcissist, bipolar) and I get it that language evolves that way a lot but it gets to a point

biggest pet peeve is people “correcting” others’ regional accents 🙃 “why do you say it that way?” because my idiolect is a map of where I’ve been babe

Saying poisonous when you mean venomous. Whenever anyone says they’re scared of poisonous spiders or snakes I say “then stop eating them.”

My linguistic pet peeve is when people act like language is a set of strict rules with rights and wrongs. Language is constantly changing to fit our needs and lives.
