Yes - more
I have many peeves - one is height, not "heighth" - when describing dimensions of a box, for example, and people say length, width, and "heighth" - there's another teeth gritter.

I know someone that has a severe inferiority complex and he's totally oblivious to his frequent practice of using "big words" and many phrases incorrectly. It used to really get on my nerves, then I used to politely refer him to the dictionary or I would mention the correct use of the word or phrase - never correcting him in front of others, but in one-on-one situations to avoid embarrassment.

I laugh at him because his apathetic and arrogant nature regarding correctness obliterates any sympathy or attempts to help. Now, he's just another source of humor. I should start jotting down his blunders - they're really amazing.
