You know what really irritates me? Misused terminology. Phrases such as "I could care less" spring to mind. Maybe I'm over-sensitive, but reading such things makes me grind my teeth. I want to give them a slap and say "No, it's 'I couldn't care less." For me, reading these sort of mistakes (along with the repeated misuse of words such as "your", "You're", "lose", "looser", "its", and "it's") are akin to someone running their nails down a blackboard.
But one word that has only relatively recently (but increasingly) been misused is the word "lag". It is not a term to describe general slowdown. If you're playing an offline game and the framerate stutters, you are not "lagging". Drives me mad, it does.
