Here’s a few I see a lot....

-For all intensive purposes (it’s just not that intense.)

-Alot (two words people.)

-I could care less (opposite of what you think you’re saying.)

-Sorry for your lose (way to make people in mourning cringe.)

That being said, my phone makes some horrid changes. Yesterday it insisted that I wanted to say ‘eat’ when I was typing ‘ear’. It autocorrected it 3x. Lately it’s putting capitol letters in the middle of my sentences.

I’m guiltily of alot a lot! But I don’t like it as two words.

I love these threads where Americans talk about the abuses of the English language.
Before I start, @Eggscaping, It's with regard to, or better still, just regarding. There is no S.
Regards, is to pass warm greetings to, as in, give your father my regards.

One of my favourites (yes there is a U in favourites) is this word 'gotton'.
You can have get, for future and present, or got, for past.
Regarding chickens, even though I have adopted it on this forum for the sake of family values, the word rooster isn't the correct term for a male chicken. All chickens are roosters because they go to roost; on a roost bar in a coop, or pen if you're lucky.
The correct term for a male chicken is cock. The truth of this can be seen in the phrase, cockfighting. No it doesn't have anything to do with pornography.
Further validation can be seen in the word, cockerel, which describes a male chicken under the age of one year.

I almost put a disclaimer on the initial post about non-Americans having their own spellings of certain words, different from Americans.

Not just chickens, peafowl, quail, and pheasants too.

Pigeons too!

Seen. “I seen my chicken eating a bug.” No, you either saw your chicken eating a bug, or you have seen your chicken eating a bug.

Seen. “I seen my chicken eating a bug.” No, you either saw your chicken eating a bug, or you have seen your chicken eating a big.

Or, "I have seen a bug eating my chicken".

Oh no, is it happening again? Get the big fly swatter.

In certain regions, wash is always pronounced warsh.

That doesn’t make it right!

Seen. “I seen my chicken eating a bug.” No, you either saw your chicken eating a bug, or you have seen your chicken eating a big.

I can ignore ALL the others. This one truly makes my skin crawl.

My mother’s side of the family all talk like that. Every. Single. One of them. I have no idea where they picked that up, or how they never shook it. I know it’s not regional because we all grew up 5 blocks apart.
