That's why I channel search so often. Really works up a sweat.

“Represent” without an object!

“Seen” as the past tense of see.

I wish I was a rich man. -- Incorrect grammar
I wish I were a rich man. -- Correct grammarWhy? The phrase above uses the verb "to be" in a positing manner, thus requiring the use of the subjunctive conjugation. Were and not was is the subjunctive of "to be."

Never heard of bigly, but it doesn't sound like someone trying to use big words that are wrong.
It's a perfectly cromulent word.

The words I hate are using loose incorrectly ,but meaning lose. In genealogical inquiries using ancestor incorrectly when meaning descendant.

One of the common things I notice often that is cringe worthy is when someone posts that they want to "Sale" something instead of "sell" you something.

I have trouble getting past people who use apostrophes for plurals. I mean, this is what, 4th grade grammar ? Third ? I can understand, sort of, that a lot of people weren't paying attention in high school. But they were already cooked by 4th grade ?
Also, people who report that they "seen" something. No, you "saw" it.

Commas are often misused as well, guilty as charged.
Then there's the "your" instead of "you're", there, their, and they're, “then” used when “than” is called for.
“I use to do that” instead of used to do that.
Here is a subtle one, people use “it's” when referring to possessive. It’s is only for when meaning it is..
Don’t know why that is so, but it’s so. -
Awl of this is too, two, to much.
