Do you not like the word smooch or do you agree with me so much I deserved a smooch?

I hate the word bi-racial used for black people.

 

No snark intended - what if that is the term the person prefers to use for him or herself?  You may not like it, but does that mean someone who does shouldn't use it?

 It depends on how it is is used.  So I am black DH is white.  My son is a black kid but if someone were to say to him why are you so pale his answer would be "because I am bi-racial".  But in the US and in the eyes of the law he will be treated like a black person.

I'm almost afraid to bring this up, because the trend appears to have died down a bit, but I cannot stand 'Z' instead of 's' as in the haz, and cheezburger. "I haz" is like nails on a chalkboard.

 I'm sure, if Cats deigned to speak English, it would be perfectly grammatical.

No... you don't want to "aks" me a question... you want to "ASK" me one.

 This! I had a colleague that would keep saying this, and it made me want to strangle him every time. I like him, but I'm glad he's moved to another location because it was driving me to distraction.

An adult calling something a "no-no."

An adult referring to an injury as a "boo-boo" or an "owie."

I can make an exception to that if the adult is talking to a small child... but... other than that... I agree with you on "babytalk"

 Never did that at all. I always used proper English with both my children. Including pronouns. Why say, "Show it to Mommy" intead of, "Show it to me?" They caught on seamlessly. 

Another family who had a son my son's age was concerned because the son seemed to have a speech delay. They used his halting attempts to say words as their vocabulary with him to the point of writing "Happy Day-Day" on his 3rd birthday cake. When they called him to dinner, it was, "Malcolm, num-nums."

And they were highly educated and successful people.

I don't know why but "boombastic" and "iconoclast" are two that I can't stand. It pissed me off just to type them. lol.

I also hate words that are purposely misspelled or have added letters for no reason. "lurve" ugh, I hate that one. why is that "r" put in there??

You misunderstand. Personally I wouldn't do it either, BUT, I make an allowance for people that do, with small kids, because different people raise their kids differently.

Not a word but a redundant phrase. "It's at 6am in the the morning." "It's 3pm in the afternoon."

If you specify 'am' or 'pm' we already know if it's morning or afternoon. Or evening.

Yup. I agree. I hate unnecessary redundancy as well.

(I like it when redundancy is related to helpful things though... like safety features in an automobile, for example... because sometimes primary things fail... and when that happens, a backup is nice to have)

I agree with the "we're pregnant" phrase. I'd like to see how that could be literally possible in a hetero relationship.

I thought the same as you did. Yeah, this is one of my pet peeves.

I don't mind "We're having a baby" but "We're pregnant" makes you sound dumb imo.

 Thanks for clarifying, Richard. If I were going to rank how much baby-talkers annoy me, I would put the no-small-children adults ahead of those speaking directly to a small child.

Not sure if this word "irregardless" has been mention. Why can't people use "regardless" instead of "irregardless?"

Because sometimes irregardless fits. It's a combination of "irrespective" and "regardless" (and it's a real word that's in the dictionary)

From the Oxford English Dictionary (online):

Irregardless -
adjective and adverb

informal
regardless

Origin:
early 20th century: probably a blend of irrespective and regardless

You are quite welcome!
