#8 is a huge peeve of mine too! Mostly because my dad ALWAYS corrected me on that and it finally sunk in. Now I can stand it when others make the mistake.

#8 is a pet peeve of mine, also.
#9 is up there, too.

I notice many people use ‘they’ as a singular to refer to individuals for whom the sex is not known.
It’s funny how the plural is gender neutral, but the singulars are not.
So we have a singular plural and plural singulars.
