We've all got at least one. One of mine is the water heater referred to
as a "hot water heater". Actually, it's a "cold water heater", but
water heater is correct.

Big things are easy to handle - it's the little things that drive you

Can you stand a few more????

How about "just a second, please", when it's a lot more time than a
second (bad habit, eh??); "cement", when it's concrete (cement is the
'glue' of concrete) and "cinder block" (cinders haven't been used for XX
years), when it's concrete block.

Anybody else care to contribute???

How about motor??? Everyone says what a big motor they have. I always
wonder how they power an "electric" motor in their car, truck, GMC or
whatever. My GMC has a 455 ENGINE.

My GMC has a 455 ENGINE.

But don't you use motor oil in your 455 engine?
