What annoys me most are the people that mispronounce certain words every single time yet use them incessantly.

"Literately" instead of "literally" is a rather ironic example.

The owner of that above-mentioned business used the biggest words he could in any given situation, including made-up ones. He loved to phrase things in terms of causality, but instead of using "consequently", he always said "subsequently", every single time. I never once hear him use the word "incredible" when waxing over some merchandise we had for sale - he always said "incredulous" instead and he pronounced "columns" as "colyumes". He always pronounced "supposedly" as "supposably". Guess what he did when he got out of college ... High School teacher. I pity any students that picked up his pomposity and lack of grammar and diction. They'd get sent right to remedial English if they tried to get into college.

If a person's opinion is 'My 2 cents' and one offers 'A penny for your thoughts' then it pays to listen more than it does to talk.

Talk to the hand.

I thought I read this one here already, but I must have seen it somewhere else. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a sound bite, but it's one most SF fans should be familiar with.
