Mispronunciations that can get on your nerves

Sometimes some people really get on my wig. Just to let you know, I don't wear a wig but I purposely said it to make a point. What I said was actually incorrect. What I meant to say was 'wick'. This phrase basically means that something or someone is getting on your nerves.

But many folks will say wig and that mispronunciation does get on my wick. It's not that commonly mispronounced but an awful lot of people do. And that's not the only phrase or word that is pronounced or misused and some are more common than others.

The most irritatingly misused phrases are 'you and me' versus 'you and I'. People are under a massive misconception that you can never say 'you and me' because they've been misled into believing that it’s incorrect. But whoever told them this is completely wrong. You can absolutely say 'you and me' when the context requires it. For example, which one sounds correct? 'They gave it to my brother and I'? or 'they gave it to my brother and me'? Dissecting the sentences will give you the correct answer. 'They gave it to my brother', 'they gave it to me' and 'they gave it to I'. Clearly the first two are correct.
