Well, as long as everyone else is going to complain ...
The use of the adjective form when the adverb form is meant. e.g. That's
real good. In this sentence "real" modifies "good" and therefore should be
an adverb, i.e. really.
Making a verb of common nouns. The one that makes me wince every time I hear
it is, "How will that impact me?" My general answer is talk to your dentist.
Last but not least... Normalcy is not a word, thank you Herbert Hoover. The
word is normality.
I find it interesting that two of the people on the list that express
themselves best are not native English speakers. This is probably because
they actually had to learn English. Professor Higgins taught Eliza to speak
so well that she was perceived to be a Hungarian.
I'm glad no one grows up speaking C. If they did we would see some really
interesting code.
The opinions expressed herein are my own and not necessarily those of my
employer.
