For me, I’ve noticed a lot of people say “Females” instead of Women.

isn't woman (wu-man) is singular and women (wi-men) is plural?

“To” instead of “too”, “breath” instead of “breathe”, and “quite” instead of “quiet”

Not pronunciation related, but misspelling related.. I HATE when people say “loose” when they mean LOSE 😑

My pet peeve is people saying costed for the past tense of cost. The past tense is cost. Same thing with casted

This! For over two decades now. That and people using verse as a verb instead of versus.

the one I keep seeing is people writing 'loose' when they mean 'lose.' And 'would of" instead of 'would have'
