People who use the words “like” or “you know” about a dozen times per sentance. Makes me wanna just smack 'em. I’ve gotten to the point that every time someone says “you know” I immediately answer with “I know”. At least I get some satisfaction out of the conversation. ---

The list would go on forever but . . . Cutesy spellings of businesses or products. For example: Krispy Kreme, The Koffee Kup Kafe, Handi-Man Hardware, Hot Dawg World. I know it’s supposed to make it more memorable, but it’s stupid. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pet-peeves/206385.md?page=3)
