ALWAYS THE SAME ERRORS! DUH!

A CONSTANT MISUSE

What is incorrect in the sentence below?

"Some report waiting lists of customers anxious to test drive the new vans, according to Dave Buckingham, vice-president of sales for Chrysler Canada."
Chris Vander Doelen, "Encouraging signs for Chrysler minivan", The Windsor Star, Tuesday, August 21, 2007.

PHRASES I HATE

"No problem."

Why is the above phrase so repugnant? Or do you consider it acceptable?

WORDS I LIKE

The word for today is "coruscate".

Define the word. What is the noun form of the word?
