A couple of pet peeves:

"one of the only" (it's either "the only" or "one of the few")

"that" for "who," as in "the woman that was doing her nails" or "the
salesman that sold us our car" (and again, this idiocy is actually accepted
by many dictionaries these days)

Anybody got any other favorites?

P.S. See, I'm actually enjoying this, God help me.
