Incorrect usage of "draconian"; does it irritate you too?

The word you were looking for is “annoy”, not “irritate”.

In what ways do you hear it misused?

Writing to the BBC is a clear indication that you are definitely becoming a curmudgeon. I would see your GP immediately; otherwise Draconian measures may have to be taken.

Reminds me of how some dude wrote to Game Informer about how massively multilayer online role playing game was an incorrect term and how nobody gives a shit… even if massively wouldn’t pertain to the audience rather than the material, which is instead defined by ’‘online’’.

It’s annoying, but not as annoying as the interchangeable use of “communist” and “dictatorial.”

The changing of word meaning is part of the evolution of a language, its best just to sit back and enjoy, because you will never stop it.

I’d like examples of how the BBC has misused the word draconian.
