1. All of "the" sudden

One hears it ever' damn fuckin' day.  It ain't no suchuvva phrase.

2. Radio or TV ads announcing a special sale but the spokesidiot, usually female and likely the sponsor's trophy wife, squeeze or spoiled daughter, pronouces it "sell," as in "Be sure to come by Ziggy's 30% off sell!"

I'm sick of people using the phrase 'physical year' when they mean 'fiscal year'. No, fuckwad, your 'physical year' doesn't run from October to September.

Did you even lift this physical year, bro?

Grammar Nazi here fighting the fights that need fighting.  HEB changed their 15 items or less signs after years of mocking from assholes like me.  Sweet victory.  Full disclosure, I did not learn until later on that all time and distance nouns use less, not fewer, even if the are countable.  A more skilled grammar Nazi pointed it out my incorrect use.  It humbled me.

Less Miles always sounded goofy to me.
