When people say I mow in the morning when it's cool.
It's so damn humid in the morning it's miserable. I'll mow in the dryer heat of the afternoon/evening ANY time.

Using podium and lectern interchangeably.

Misusing the reflexive pronoun “myself” in place of “me” or “I.”

These are regularly done by otherwise intelligent people.

Had a coworker that used to say and write “it’s a mute point”. It crawled all over me. Eventually I had to tell him. I was pleasantly surprised when he wasn’t offended.

Moot is the correct word. I hear and see people getting this wrong frequently.

Lost vs. Loss
"Our team has one loss" not, "Our team has one lost"
I also heard T-Bob say that multiple times on OTB. (He's not the only one though.)
I've seen people actually type it out that way as well.

Rubber Match in reference to the third and deciding Game of a 3 Game series ( or rubber) in baseball.

Matches are not played in baseball. Games are.

It is the Rubber Game that decides the series.

Another is 24/7/365

If you follow the progression of units, it should be 24/7/52 or 24/365.
