I knew a girl who used to say "parding" instead of pardon, I was always too polite to correct her but it made me cringe every time she said it.

When people (usually English) add "k" to "ng" words, and random "r"s to words where there are none.

Examples: "Nothingk, anythingk, waitingk, etc"
And "I have a really good idear"

I love 'brang' instead of brought. I know it's not a mispronunciation, rather it's just wrong.

I know it's endemic to Hiberno - English but the widespread inability of people to pronouce 'th's really gets on my nerves.

If you read "book" and didn't already hear "Buck" then you're not doing it right.
