Tap instead of click.
App instead of program.
Fewer instead of less (even though more has no equivalent).
Slowed up instead of slowed down (slow is less speed, so must be down).
People who write computer programs that say "hello world" and nothing
else - clearly that program doesn't have the intelligence to say hello.
Bothering to distinguish between burned and burnt.
Forward instead of forwards.


Listen up and park up instead of listen and park


Visitation instead of visit.


That damned yankee phrase I cant think of for the moment.


'expiration date' or 'expiry date'

extension date or extended date
