Mine is people using are instead of our. I hear this all the time from social media, news reporters, and I see in in writing. Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

    Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

    I’m not sure if I’ve seen this, is this about the pronunciation?

      Yeah, I’ve never seen or heard that either. I’m sure there our plenty of dialects where those two words sounds similar or identical.

        I mentioned this to my mother just a minute ago. I said I’ve never seen anyone use “are” instead of “our” and she was like “oh god that drives me nuts; I see that all the time!”

          If someone reads my comment, and they’our not sure if I’m serious our not, that’s ok with me.
