This pet peeve appears in writing rather than speaking, but I hate it when people write "could of" instead of "could've". If people would just stop to think, they MIGHT realize that "could of" makes no sense. I have on occasion been called the Grammar Nazi, but nothing irritates me more (well, besides men with bad toupees and cows mating) than bad grammar and poor spelling.
