The phrase that drives me absolutely mad is "I seen". As in, "I seen you yesterday walking your dogs." Ugh. Subject/verb agreement may seem like a little thing, but when it's ignored it makes a world of difference!! One of my closest friends (also an English teacher) is perpetually saying, "I seen". Gah!! I think now she's only doing so to spite me--and it works!
Another issue that drives me nuts is the color/collar mix-up. You color a picture. You put a collar on Fido. These words are *not* interchangeable!
