Yes, please post the linguistic peeves.

I'll start... "taking X decreases your chance of dying".

Um, no, not last I checked. Might decrease your chance of dying from a specific condition, but last I heard, the chance you'll eventually die is still 100%.

I just ordered "Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation" -- do you want to borrow it when I'm done?
