My pet hate is the use of 'much' when people mean 'many'. I've heard it on the telly as well now, but usually it's kids who'll say something like 'how much biscuits can I have' or 'how much times did you go down the slide?' It's simple kids - if you pour it, it's how much. If you can count them, it's how many.
I'm glad I went to school in the seventies.
