This message is for faculty, especially those who teach subjects other than English.  As you're grading those final papers and exams with essay questions, most of you will cringe occasionally over some particular pet peeve of poor writing.  For example, I loathe phrases like "in today's society" and "in our modern world."  I want to compile a list of those pet peeves for use when I teach freshman comp.  If you have the time, please send me a quick email with the one or two things that most annoy you in student writing.  Thanks.
