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.

Senile Rodent: "The problem isnt the hairy legs, it's the gross inbreeding that produces two headed unemployables like you." Birdbrain: "So why did you mention hairy legs?" Senile Rodent: "Because that's what those who arent actually stupid enough to shave their legs have." Birdbrain: "You only have hairy legs if both of the following are true: 1) You're quite far back on the evolutionary scale. 2) You haven't learned what a razor is for." Senile Rodent: "Only a terminal ****wit or a woman shaves their legs." Birdbrain: "There is literally zero point in having hair all over your body."
