Bad grammar that bugs you?

I just heard an example. “I was bit by the shark.” You can say “It bit me” but it should be “I was bitten.”

“I done it yesterday” instead of “I did it.”

And the word pet replacing pat. You Pat a dog, how can you pet it? It sounds like you’re making it a pet.

I've heard someone repeatedly use "mostably" instead of usually or often. Not a word.

Sounds like “most notably”.

People read something like

#ImpeachThePresident

and read out

"hashtag impeach the president"

but the whole thing is a hashtag. The way they should read it is

"hash impeach the president"
