In no particular order – find them and turn them in for good!

1.  “we made over a million dollars” – you didn’t make over a million – you made “more than” a million – we jump “over things” – we don’t “made” over things.
2. “fire crews put out the blaze” – come on… in conversation, how often do you say “blaze” – don’t you just say fire?  “crews put out the fire” …
3. “anyways” – it’s not a word.  Try anyway.
4. Irregardless… not a word either.  You’re giving a negative word a negative prefix – it’s a double double negative… ie: regardless = without regard… irregardless = without, without regard… makes no sense…
5. Supposably – yes it’s a word, but it doesn’t mean supposedly… so stop using it that way.
6. Duck Tape – you mean duct tape… no ducks involved in the taping…
7. Mute Point – you mean moot point – mute is no sound – moot is already decided
8. Hit and Miss – nope… can’t have both at the same time… it’s hit OR miss
9. How are you doing?  “Good”!  Ugh – no Bad!!… you should answer, “well – I’m doing well” – good is the adjective – well is the adverb…
10.  Compliment vs. complement – both words – not synonyms… compliment – to say something nice… complement – to say something goes nice with something else… or matches well with
