I've seen it written incorrectly as "marital law" a few times. Well, tick off your spouse enough, and it might be close XD
yeahright
The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
Thought of one I see here occasionally - marshall law. No, actually it's 'martial law'.

'I'm going to take a shower' .. Where are you taking it?

It used to be when someone liked or admired something they would say :-
"Oh I do like that" or "I love that" (whatever it was)
Now it appears the new in thing to say is "I'm loving/liking it"
i'm lovin' it is an international branding campaign by McDonald's Corporation. It was created by Heye & Partner, McDonald's agency based in Unterhaching, Germany, near Munich, and a member of the DDB Worldwide Communications Group, Inc. It was the company's first global advertising campaign and was launched in Munich, Germany on September 2, 2003, under the German title ich liebe es. This is only used in Germany; in Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein, the English slogan is used.

This may have been posted already but I'm not searching because it's been a day of listening to or reading people use the phrases below incorrectly.
I don't know that I have ever been accused of being a grammar Nazi and I am not trying to be one here. I realize that for the most part people speak in some shorthand version of their local dialect but when you are in a professional setting the following things or similar phrases , statements or sentiments should never be used and if you decide to use them then people should be able to kick you in the shins really hard....
"It's a mute point" (That's great but it's not a mute point since it is actually a moot point)
"Plug it in and wah lah it works" (wah lah means nothing, it is supposed to be voila)
"Irregardless, I am still doing it" (while technically irregardless is a word its two parts cancel each other out. People should actually be using regardless)
"Where is you at?" (I heard this 2 times today and realized that something has failed with modern basic grammar)

P.S. I apologize for any grammar errors I used above as I am tired!
