Mine is till instead of ’til to mean until and a in “two times a year” instead of per. I still say “two times a year” myself but when writing it looks so unprofessional and I always notice it in news publications.
- What bugs me most is whether 'biannual' means twice per year or every second year.
  
  It means both which is setup to confuse everyone it seems.
