  1. My favorite is one that Joey said on Friends -

    "No, a moo point. Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo."  

    One of my pet peeves is "for all intensive purposes" instead of  "intents and purposes"

    Also "statue of limitations"  instead of "statute of limitations"


  2. using "then" in place of "than"  

    "form" in place of "from" - brought about by the rise of spell-checking software without grammar checking.

    "there" in place of "their" or "they're"
