@mafields627 said in pet peeves:
People that say "on today" instead of just saying "today."
That's like everyone on TV who says "tuna-fish sandwich".
What other kind of animal would "tuna" be other than "fish".
No other kind of fish is called "xxxx-fish".
New Yorkers who say "standing on line" instead of "standing in line".
People on TV who keep saying "I was laying down" when they mean "I was lying down".
People on TV who say "I'll drive further" when they mean "I'll drive farther."
People on TV who say "mis-CHEE-vee-us" when ther is no extra "i" in the word to
justify that pronunciation.
People on TV who say "conversate" instead of "converse".
Wow.
Only 9,980 pet peeves to go...

I get what you mean about Tuna, but there are other "fish" you may not have thought of.........Swordfish, sailfish, codfish, cuddlefish, jellyfish, goldfish, redfish, bluefish. Like when people say, Pizza Pie. Certainly. It’s not pizza cake, and Pizza means pie in Italian.
Also, I always hear people say, "Chinese Take-out" as if it’s one word. Maybe it’s just that on the east coast, people sometimes have Chinese food named eat it in the restaurant.
People say, Real-i-tor, rather than Real-tor.
That’s enough for now....
