The recent trend I've noticed is the use of the word "ignorant" in place of rude, rather than uneducated. Drives me nuts!
Also if I hear another Football analyst use the non-word "physicality" one more time on national television, and then sit back with a smug look on his face, my head it "literally" going to explode (kidding).
When people say anxious, when they mean eager
I had a waitress tell me they had a vegetable melody
I hate when they say commentated instead of commented.

Another phrase that drives me nuts is when someone mentions their "hot water heater."
If you already have hot water, what's the point in heating it?
Years ago I worked in a DIY store--before Home Depot existed. People would come in and ask where the hot water heaters were. Some of us who were smart-azzes used to reply "We only carry cold-water heaters."
I wouldn't have thought so at first, but apparently the word "supposedly" is frequently misused as "supposively." (If you've ever heard anyone say that...doesn't it make the little hairs on the back of your neck stand on end?)
