[quote=Anonymous]Oh wow. I have a whole bunch of these. I absolutely hate it when people say "the reason is because..." as in "The reason he was late is because Metro was broken." It is ONE OR THE OTHER, people. "The reason he was late is that Metro was broken" or "He was late because Metro was broken". I know PP laments the lack of compound words, but let's not compound phrases to make up for that lack! I also hate when people say things like "She's very unique" - either she is unique or she is not. Using "literally" when you mean "figuratively" annoys me too. I correct DH on this all the time. I'm trying to get over the aversion I have to a man saying "We're pregnant" because I know that most of the people who say this mean it in a really sweet way, and I'm also trying to get over the sex vs. gender peeve as well, but that's mostly just because those things happen so much in my life these days that I'm starting to feel like a permanent scold.[/quote]
