Speakers of non-English languages, what common mistakes do native speakers make that drive you crazy? in c/[email protected]

Loose and lose. I just don't get it. I can understand when the words sound the same, like with the yours and the theirs but Loose and Lose don't sound the same. Like reading loose out loud in those sentences just sounds stupid.

What's your "old person" trait? in c/[email protected]

I find it annoying too and for about 9 months I had a cracked camera on my phone so no QR worked for me, most places had a physical copy when I couldn't or I just had to leave. Now I don't like being difficult, but I wish I still had that excuse. I just don't like it.
