Irrational HatredPeople who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

I have this with Latin in programmes.There was one episode of CSI that made me scream at my screen (even more than usual) where they used the phrase "meus fidem erum pallium", supposedly meaning "my faith has been lost".
They were going for "mea fides perdita erat". What they had was "my (masculine, nominative) faith (feminine, accusative), master/hedgehog, small greek cloak"
I understand that not everyone speaks latin, but you have to wonder where they went so wrong.

Do Latin, kids.It may have no real-life applications, but you get to read poetry about putting fish in people's bottoms.
