For me, my little pet peeve is when society changed the meaning of ironic to mean joking or satirical.

Did they 'literally' changed it?

Perhaps not officially but i can see scholars eventually yielding to equate irony to mean satire.

I remember growing up when the word ultimate is used everywhere and being equated to "super duper". I later learned it ultimately (no pun intended) means final. I guess the same will happen to the word irony now also to mean satire.
