All things serve the Beam
Wonderful!! Almost every one of those drives me nuts!
But this one ... GONE/WENT MISSING ... has always just made me grind my teeth and bite my tongue! I'm SO glad to hear I'm not the only one!
And this one ... WE'RE PREGNANT ... I've always thought that was so stupid.
I feel so vindicated to read this!
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

I guess I am way old school, because I use the word awesome, still.
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

One I'd like to add to the list......
The term "warrior" when applied to any professional athlete. (Also include phrases like "I'm going to war with, i'd go to battle with, etc.)
I don't see anyone shooting at you, trying to bomb you, and you're damned sure not wearing a military uniform.
Tough, yes.
Warrior? Give me a break.
Sherman, we miss you!
"Visioning" I hate hearing this word - it's usually used by some moron who thinks it's just catchier than "envision", which is what they want to do. I asked a minister once why she repeatedly used this make-believe word. Her reply? "Well don't you think it's creative? I like making up words".
Not.

I cringe when I hear the past tense of "impact" used as a verb. The only use for this word should be in relation to wisdom teeth!
"Free gift with purchase" ... It's either free with your purchase, or it is a gift. Why must it be both?
I think it is funny/strange that the "word" truthiness appears both on this list and on Merriam Webster's list of top words of 2006. I'm not a huge Stephen Colbert fan, though.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas
"We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays." -- Persius, first century Roman poet

Going in a handbasket
Wow, I definitely agreed with most of those.
I've always been annoyed with how non-words (pwn anyone?) get created and worse yet...actually get added to the dictionary...like Functionality. WTF? There is no such thing as functionality. This has always bugged me. A product has a funtion, or it can function in a certain way...but functionality? *grimaces*
Purposely mis-pronounced words bug me also. It's almost like something becomes a fad and then it's just everywhere and later...commonplace. Like often. How do you pronounce often? Ideally, it should rhyme with coffin. Where did this "t" come from all of a sudden (Ok, well not all of a sudden, since it's been going on for some time now)? It was like one day, everyone started saying ofTIN, and then it caught on and now everyone says it that way. I actually hear often less than I hear ofTIN nowadays. Ugh! Then, why isn't it sofTIN?
I ofTIN sofTIN my clothes. Maybe I could start a new fad here?
ha ha ha
It also bugs me when people say greezy (greasy). *shudders*
