When I see people use 'affect' when they mean 'effect' I assume their thinking is so muddled their opinion or viewpoint is worthless.
'Vegetarian' is an idiot word -- a humanitarian supports humans, a libertarian supports liberty, so a vegetarian should support vegetables by campaigning for laws against whipping potatoes, intervening when someone is mashing peas, and passing out leaflets, ala' PETA, showing atrociously creamed corn, but instead of being truly pro-vegetables, they eat them. The proper word is herbivore!
'Vegan' is a lizard-like creature originating on a planet orbiting the star Vega. By all written accounts, they are vicious, amoral, and lick themselves all over.

Lmao! That is too funny. Bow to add to the thread to not be off topic.
I hate any swear word coming out of a young kids mouth if of is used incorrectly.. reminds me of the story I heard but don't remember where about his kid using the word ..... like the word "crap" he would shout ..... when he was mad because his friends did. It was until be was given the proper definition of the word that he never used it in that manner again. Lmao
Commonly used redundant phrases kinda bug me ...

Yea as far as that goes they are all good.... hot water heater has to be my fav though as it is the one I come accross most
A relatively new one: "biofilm".
First we had to worry about plaque on our teeth. I remember that one from grade school.
Then came along "tartar" building up on our not-so-pearly whites. They never did tell us the difference between "plaque" and "tartar", did they?
Now, "biofilm" is coating our oral enamel.
They'll come up with anything to sell a product.
"Biofilm" my frosted ....

bipartisan ... because the Democrats keep trying and the Grand Obstructionist Party is deaf to the concept.
Stop giving up the ship Dems, they'll never get enough to satisfy them. They want it all, there IS no compromise other than complete and total agreement to their demands. Stand your ground, do the right thing.

'Off of' as in "Get off of that table". I just feel the 'of' is unneccessary and I find it annoying. "Get off that table" says it better in my opinion. Also using 'thunk' instead of 'think' or 'thought'. Don't like it. I also don't like 'porridge', 'barf', 'syncopate', or 'sarge' - I hate that word, and cum - makes me want to vomit a little bit. Probably heaps more but they just came to my head
Oh, I also have a problem with 'flammable' and 'inflammable'. Do we really need both? Is there any difference at all in their meaning? Because they are used interchangeably.
I think Strunk and White said it best:
Flammable. An oddity, chiefly useful in saving lives. The common word meaning "combustible" is inflammable. But some people are thrown off by the in- and think inflammable means "not combustible." For this reason, trucks carrying gasoline or explosives are now marked FLAMMABLE. Unless you are operating such a truck and hence are concerned with the safety of children and illiterates, use inflammable.
Aint that the damn truth....most liberals are F.O.S. They claim to be liberal..... but if you don't agree with them they call you a bigot or a sexist or a homophobe or a .... insert mean name calling here...... kinda goes against the meaning of the word and what is claimed huh.
I guess its the "if you're not like me, you're stupid and wrong" mentality.... It is claimed by liberals that freedom of expression and freedom of self is the rule of the day..... then why, for instance, is someone that doesn't agree with gay marriage deemed a homophobe or hateful person. Wouldn't it be someones freedom to not agree with it?
