Mine is people using are instead of our. I hear this all the time from social media, news reporters, and I see in in writing. Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

    When I email someone a quick question that could be answered in like 6 words and, 90 seconds later, they’re calling my phone.

      Text from my direct report at 7am Saturday morning: “Please call me as soon as possible!!!”

      I call immediately. Him: “I can’t talk right now, when is a good time to call you back?” Me:
      “Just call me when you can, omg.”

      Him: Calls me three hours later to take 20 minutes explaining why he needs an afternoon off two months from now.

      Me: “This could have been a text, Pablo.”
