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.

I don't have any phrases I especially dislike- but what I hate is when
people act all intellectual and stuff...talking about Mozart and
Beethoven when theyve never even seen one of their paintings.


Rembrandt was a heckuva fiddle player.
