I hate buzzwords! It's not "carbon," it's "carbon dioxide"

And what about these stupid yellow ribbons everywhere? I hate that too!

    Let us not forget "acrost"

    I'm from the South and my accent is entirely about the vowel sounds. I defy these Midwesterners who think me uneducated to catch me in a usage error. Meanwhile, these Midwesterners love to say "acrost!" I even heard the House Doctor (I think he's from California) say "acrost" on national television!

    (scanning furiously for usage errors before I hit "send..." oh dear, where do I put the close-parentheseeeeee....)
