Oh, I didn't know we were going off the rails with "any" word butchering...  I have at least a half dozen, but the one that drives me crazy, and that most people say on a daily basis...

Miles an Hour....It's not miles an hour,  it's miles per hour...And I know you're going to argue that Miles An Hour is an acceptable use, but it's not.  It's simply not.

Don't believe me?  Look at your speedometer...it says MPH...not MAH.

What's worse is the car manufacturers actually say Miles an Hour in their commercials, so I have the possibility of hearing it dozens of times a day...

I don't know why, but when I hear it, it's like nails on a chalkboard to me.  I'm a little OCD about it...and it's everything I can do not to correct someone who says it, but I keep my mouth shut.

I've been married 20 years, when someone says it, my wife will give me a glance out of the corner of her eye like, "please keep it together".  LOL
