Fingernails On My Chalkboard

I hate when people say: "it doesn't jive"
The correct expression is, "it doesn't jibe"



I hate when people say: something is "floundering"
The correct expression is, "foundering"...to flounder is to fish for flounder

Would it kill you to return the cart to a corral, or at least

I hate when people write: "baited breath"
The correct spelling is, "bated breath"



I hate when people say: "flustrate"
The correct words are, "fluster" or "frustrate"
