This is another installment of your pet peeves, which are pet peeves that you posted on our Pet Peeves page. Some of them might be redundancies, but I doubt they’re as redundant as the previous sentence.

Keep ‘em coming–we love to hear them.

• Saying “on accident”
• Skipping the word “other” in comparisons, such as “This car gets better gas mileage than any in its class”
• Hot water heater (Wonder what the problem is with that? Buy Literally, the Best Language Book Ever to find out! Note: I’ve said it before, but book promotion doesn’t have to be subtle.)
• Same difference
• How come, as in “How come he didn’t eat?”
• Saying “axe” instead of “ask”
• Saying “disorientated”
• Saying “May I help who’s next” instead of “May I help the next person in line”
• Trying to sound important through conflated language, such as saying “ground truthing” for “verifying the field data”
• Saying things like “The city will be replaning trees that it cut down”
• Using “different than” instead of “different from”
