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 bet you do not like people parking in a drive way, and driving on the park way. Now that one I myself like. I think it's really funny and I wonder who first noticed it. When I hear it, I think of George Carlin. |
