If it is, I'll re-iterate with a qualifier: Americans who use "on line" instead of "in line". "While I was waiting on line at the bank"
:) I remembered a few more: People who use AM/PM when stating a time, along with "at night" or "in the morning" - "I stayed up till 4AM in the morning". One or the other, but not both! People who write lists of things that annoy them. People who send emails with a return receipt request. Those STUPID Saab commercials - "Saab - Born From Jets". What a stupid byline. Funny thing is, they cost about as much to maintain as a jet. So maybe they aren't so far off. Smokers standing outside my office door that make my clothes all stanky when coming or going.
