What is your pet peeve in 2024?
Mine is people using are instead of our. I hear this all the time from social media, news reporters, and I see in in writing. Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

"are" is a perfectly valid pronunciation of "our" I think, at least in some accents. Writing it as "are", on the other hand does feel wrong.
