Cranky Monday -- Only Two . . .

By Vickilane
Cranky Monday -- Only Two . . . Only two of the many spelling/usage errors that I've noticed recently.  One is Woah! used in the sense of Stop! or Hold on there!  Shouldn't it be Whoa! as said to stop a horse?
Cranky Monday -- Only Two . . .
The other is Here, here! used to signify agreement.  This is awfully common but I looked it up to be sure that I was correct in believing it should be Hear! Hear!
I was. It derives from Hear him! Hear him! -- used in approval during a speech. Kinda like spontaneous Amen's during a sermon. What about you? Are there any annoying bits of ill-used language that make you grit your teeth or reach for a red pencil?
