People that use the word "Literally" in every other sentence when it has no purpose. "I was literally shitting myself" Sometimes interspersed with"Like" which is equally as useless. "Like I thought like I was having a really shit day" or "You know what I mean like, I was like, literally having a mare like, I mean like, I was, god's honest truth, literally."
These people do exist.2 -

It's always darkest just before dawn. No it isn't, it's darkest when both the sun and the moon are 18° or more below the horizon, unless you are feeling depressed in which case it's darkest just before everything goes pitch black.4

seeing a lot of tweets where people are replacing Bro, Bruh. Bro is bad enough, but when we're seeing dialects impacting it and you don't come from the good old U S of A, I don't want to know.
Not a fan of seeing tweets in their regional dialects either. 'I cannae get ma head around etc etc'. Pathetic.
As for sayings
'Getting my ducks in a row' and 'keeping my powder dry'. I associate them with smug individuals0 -

This comes up on Reddit a lot, and you’ll find people arguing that the English language is evolving and it’s now acceptable to use it as a term of exaggeration.The Prince-e-Paul said:People that use the word "Literally" in every other sentence when it has no purpose. "I was literally shitting myself" Sometimes interspersed with"Like" which is equally as useless. "Like I thought like I was having a really shit day" or "You know what I mean like, I was like, literally having a mare like, I mean like, I was, god's honest truth, literally."
These people do exist.But that’s horse shit. ‘Literally’ works in a very specific set of circumstances, i.e. when a statement that works figuratively does indeed work literally. Misusing it cheapens its value.1 -
There was a thread like this a few years ago and someone said “going to ground means to go into hiding, not to fall over” and it wound them up. Now it winds me up too. Sometimes these threads are best left unclicked.6

"Hopefully" is almost always misused. It means "in a hopeful manner", not "I hope".I hope you've got that.2

Someone I work with:
”Been” instead of being
