I cringe when I see or hear "us" used instead of "we" as from a news reader on TV recently "us Australians are living beyond..." should be we Australians.

The one that annoys me most is "somethink", "nothink" etc. I've heard supposedly well educated people pronounce words that way.

Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

Actually "payed" is a legitimate word, and is in fact the past tense of "to pay" but a very different meaning of the word "pay" than you usually see it in.
"Payed" is the past tense of the now archaic meaning of "pay" which means to seal a deck with rope and tar, and is not gramatically correct for having given someone money. However there are those out there who argue that it is in the dictionary so they can use it. Its like saying that "whether" and "weather" are interchangeable because they are both in the dictionary too.

If the spell checker does not under line it it is OK.

Top of my list is when advertisers claim "10 times less". Idiots.
