    People drawing outrageous comparisons.

    When I'm Queen of the Planet I'll have everyone quartered who I can recollect saying, "at this point in time" when they could simply have said "right now" or "now."

    Also, anyone I can remember having said "co-conspirator." You don't need a frigging 'co' there since you can't conspire by yourself, anyhow!

    Oh and I truly will feel sorry for anyone foolish enough to have said 'irregardless.'

    For good measure, also the jerk who coined the term 'automobile.' Why he thinks he can mix ancient Greek with Latin is anyone's guess, but we can ponder it while watching him swing.

    Well the Romans used Greek words in their vocabulary as well. That's why English has 90% of all it's Greek inspired words.

    Sure, but it's just shoddy to blend languages half way through a word.

    Then you would hate a lot of other words like television. It's not that bad.
