Nope, it’s a common misconception that “I’m good” is grammatically incorrect, but it’s actually fine (unless you are talking about health, then “well” should be used). In many circles, “good” is actually preferred to “well” as “well” implies talking about health while good is more general feeling.

"Failure is Not a Destination"
Coach K on the Dan Patrick Show, December 22, 2016
What's the mnemonic for schadenfreude?
That one usually gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Hate: widget
Like: miasma, callipygian
"The way he pushed them together, the boxes created a massive little edifice.
'I think that's just about it,' said Mr. Armory. 'Thank you very much, Kim.'
'No problem,' said the young man, who was already heading out the door with the dolly."
I Am Chalotte Simmons p. 70.
I like a word that hasn't been used on this board since 2013. I don't know why. It seems a very useful word.
Balderdash!
Like: "Cringey" -- learned it from my kids. Some of the disliked words in this thread are totally cringey.
"Examples: I see you drop something and hand it to you. -Why thank me for that? It's in no way an inconvenience or an ordeal."
I'll disagree to this extent, when I hold a door for another and don't get recognition for it, I have a negative feeling immediately. Rarely happens, but just saying...
I'm all about common courtesy and with that, common recognition for it. Just good manners.
Least favorite words, sayings:
Someone saying they've been "disrespected" (can't disrespect someone I didn't respect, or even know, previously).
Many sayings heard from athletes interviewed demonstrating incredibly poor interview skills, including the use of "like" and "um" multiple times in one sentence.
Other pet peeve is young folks these days not understanding that speaking quickly means you're demonstrating intelligence versus having more fluid speaking skills, learning pauses, and thinking before spewing demonstrates more intelligent speaking.
I do want to know, when did the terms, "vetted" and others commonly used with the media come out? Never heard those about 3 years ago.
The pervasive use of adjectives when adverbs should be used. This is not just done by the uneducated, but by many in the media who should know better. Just add -ly people!
Actually, the worst word now is Actually. Grotesquely over used. Q:"Is the bread fresh today?" A: "Actually we don't have any fresh bread today." Actually he's not here right now; actually we open at 5pm;
Actually I expect him in later. Enuff already.
“Last Call”
