The word "like" is this gross mispronounciation of what we who speak English call a pause in between words, better known as a comma. I don't know if this one counts, but it sure puts me into a homicidal mood.

That's strange because when people call Ebonics or, less colloquially, African American Vernacular English idiot talk it throws me into a homicidal mood. Let me assure you that no matter what dialect of English you speak there's someone out there who thinks it's an undesirable way of speaking.
The pet-peeves I can stand, barely, but writing off an entire
language is completely off-base in my book.
