I have a friend that would laugh in a leader's face if the word "irregardless" came out of their mouth. Another guy that I served with wanted to go to blows if anyone punctuated a statement with the phrase "check, rog". I've always been annoyed with incorrect uses of the words good and well. Is there a word or phrase that drives you batty?

"Would you like cheese on your burger"? If I wanted cheese on my burger I'd have asked for a cheese burger.

Maj John Bell - I'll add mansplaining, safe space, whitelash, climate change, choice, to your list. And like you said, etc. etc. etc. Does that make us triggered?

"Would you like fries with that?" Absolutely dumbest damn question ever, of course I do, and I want them Super sized! Sorry, Joseph, that's all I got. I try not to get too upset, although I did serve with someone that had the same irregardless issue.
