Stupid little things that bug you

You, sir, are a word juggler…

Edit: I am a former grammar policeman (i.e. teacher) and I shall come down mercilessly on anyone who uses 'less' when they should be using 'fewer'.
I wish more teachers knew the difference between the two words and cared about it. The French care about their language but we as a nation do not seem to give a monkey's.

I agree completely about the growing use of American English but have to say I enjoyed a book about English by the domiciled Bill Bryson. I think it was called 'Mother Tongue'.
