I just want to see everyone quit using the apostrophe to form a plural. Oh, I might as well shoot for the moon and also wish for subject-verb agreement.

I just want people to stop saying "less" when they mean "fewer." someday I'm going to have a bumper sticker made that says, "Less milk, fewer cookies."

My personal "favorite" is when speakers say continue on, which is redundant. Continue means to go on. Makes my ears bleed to hear it.
