Oh God, so so much.
Off the top of my head, people who say 'off of' when they mean 'from'. FUCK YOU MILLS! It was never funny and the sycophantic morons that copy you need to be grated to death.
Oh, and pretty much every news program and service ever. No, I don't particulary care what some Japanese seaweed farmer thinks about radiation. Oh, all right, I suppose it's ok to know what the public are thinking out there, but I do feel that you should probably follow his wild fear-induced speculation about glowing molluscs with somebody who ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE ON ABOUT. A nuclear physicist, perhaps?
*EDIT* Upon reflection, I think that this could be expanded to pretty much all news coverage. Flat Earth News should be on the National Curriculum.

I like the way you start off with a rant about the misuse of English
and then mis-spell "programme".

the shame
I usually bung it all in an online spellchecker. Just checked and it's on English (American).
I can't really ninja edit it now, either. Bugger it.
Not having a handy sword, I shall go and find something pointy and throw myself on it repeatedly. Bollard?
