1. The correct phrase is "I could not care less". Saying you "could care
less" implies you actually do care.

2. The correct phrase is "for all intents and purposes", not "intensive
purposes".

3. That thing in your basement is NOT a "hot water heater". If the water
was already hot, why would it need a heater? It's a plain old "water
heater" or "hot water tank".

4. "UPC" should not be followed by the word "code".

5. "GPS" should not be followed by the word "system".

6. "PIN" should not be followed by the word "number".

7. One does not wait in a "queue line". One waits in a "queue" OR a "line".

8. "DVR" should not be followed by the word "recorder".

9. Ditto for "PVR".

10. You do not eat "hamburgs". They are "hamburgers".

11. Do not type "Oppppps" when you mean to type "Oooooops". Unless you
actually do SAY "Oppppps".

12. Never use the word "onomatopoeia" in everyday conversation.

Please feel free to add to the list.

Excuse me... I need to get the twist out of my j-strap for a more pleasant
rest-of-the day.

Thank you.

The use of the word 'irregardless' and incorrect use of their, there, & they're are a couple of my pet peeves too! LOL
