Things you say that are wrong

I use double negatives a lot, only to find half way through the sentence that it isn't right.

Apparently, I always say "coin" instead of "coins", no matter if it's one coin or several.
"Have you got coin today for the parking machine?"

If you know it's wrong, why do you say it? It doesn't even make sense!

A close friend of mine up till his early twenties thought it was called and handburger because you eat it with your hands, his reasoning is that it doesnt have ham in it......we got alot of mileage out of that one.

I used to say "morning" or "good morning" as a greeting at any point in the day. Strangely, an awful lot of people didn't even pick up on it. And this one is writing but still, I only found out a few months ago that "a lot" isn't all one word. I was shocked. I had alot a shock. It still looks right to me...

I have pretty good punctuality I mean punctuation and grammar but admittedly make the odd mistake when typing too quickly. Anyway some of the many that I have heard others using are as follows:

Hostipal
Hemlet
Chimley
Pacific
Pasgetti
Expresso
Should of
Folly
Irregardless
I could care less
You've got another thing coming
For all intensive purposes

Irregardless. That word always sets off red lights with me. I think people just like to add more syllables to seem smarter.

Not I, but my youngest, 'in anyways'...what does that mean?

My own...Don't intervolve yourself (do not interfere or get involved;))...I'm a pacificist so I am!

That's raail bad instead of that's really bad.
laave it alone instead of leave it alone.

I have a terrible habit of saying "hurted" instead of "hurt" ie. "I fell last night, I hurted my knee".

Also heard someone on the telly say her child had had a "growth sprout". I think she meant "growth spurt".

I'm not even messing here but I only discovered I was spelling background wrong for the most of my life only a few months ago! I always left out the "g"

im such an idiot

Your phone number is zero eight. Your network provider is "o" two... not 0 (zero) two.

I work with at least two people who don't see the difference in entering o/O or 0 when doing data entry; and they don't use either consistently. Drives me completely insane trying to clean it all up!
