People who don't speak properly

People who insist that it's SherBERT rather than SherBET drive me nuts. It comes from the French 'Sorbet' not Sorbert! I also hate it when people say JUBEJUBE rather than JUJUBE and HAICH rahter than AICH for the letter “H”. Just because it doesn't have the "h" sound in it doesn't mean you have the right to add it in.

You also can’t CATCH a sunburn, you GET a sunburn.

ALSO. New-Clee-Ar, not New-Cue-Lar.

And the bane of my existence: The double negative "I didn't do/say nothing." It's anything you ass.
