The above is a little film summing up many faux pas that people make and giving them names (I love the word "malaphor"!)
I usually avoid threads here in Pedants' Corner (because after about the fourth post the comments are usually the same time after time), although I consider myself a pedant - and am proud of it!
I like the way this little clip balances the pointing out of mistakes while explaining that if a mistake is made often enough, it can become accepted usage.
So we pedants should just grin and bear it!
