How long did you cry after Jesse Helms died and just how awesome of an American was he?

My father worked in radio back when you edited with a razor and tape. He used to splice the t out of "often". As somebody from Washington, I loathe "warshington".

Other stuff is dumb, but is a helpful clue as to who can be trusted with sharp things.

"Everything happens for a reason".... usually in some religion related way after something crappy happened

"I'd like to thank God"... sports interview tilt.

I know OP isn't about pronunciation, but these kill me. Also, pronouncing "wh" as "hw" (hand me my huh-wyte shirt).

Redundancies annoy me. Stuff like pre-planning and forward planning. Also, actioning could be the most infuriating thing in the world.

This seems relevant: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7457287.stm

Shouldn't it be the responsibility of the sign maker to point out second grade level grammatical errors? It makes me want to choke someone.

A lot of the mistakes listed in this thread bother me, but this one, by far, bothers me the most.

Do "If I would have had a car" or "If I would have known" sound like correct english to anyone at all? It really annoys me but I hear so many people use it that I have begun to question my own judgment.

Somewhat along these lines. One thing that bothers me (that I haven't seen in a while, probably because everything is so expensive) is prices listed as such:

.25¢ which is literally saying that something is not a quarter (which is intended) but 1/4 of a penny.

Please give examples? I can't say I've heard either of these in use. 'If I had a car' or even 'if I had had a car.' 'Had I known."

There was that recent debacle involving Verizon (I think?) about that. Listening to that customer service call put me on life-tilt.

I was watching the sixth season of the sopranos and I realized that the phrase "God forbid" is pretty annoying

Vito kept saying " God forbid Tony should die, ....". He clearly wanted him to die imo

If I would have had a car, I would have gone camping with you.

Yeah, doesn't sound right.

That actually sounds right/normal to me, guess I'm stupid.

It may indeed be right. It just doesn't sound right to me, but I haven't been appointed king of grammar.
