People around here say "yet" when they mean "still". I'm not the most grammatically correct, I saw at least 2 things listed in the posts here I'm guilty of doing usually out of habit but I'm working on it at least.

As a joke, the husband guy and I (haha) always say "I'd like to reiterate again". Most people think we're saying it right, too 
Did you mean "... saying it correctly"?
No, I meant to say right, even though I know it's not correct. It's a stupid thing with me: I had a teacher once that said "correct" a funny way when I was younger, and now I can't say it or read it without hearing her, and it bugs me.
One could also argue that a percentage is a collective mass
Only if one didn't understand mathematics, but held one's use of grammar in high enough regard to create non existent conundrums.

Straight. **** off and let me post. It's not true, it's all in good fun. Now go away.

Not necessarily grammar related, but on the subject of words:

I particularly like his description of "sonicky" words, i.e. words (not onomatopoeias) that are "that are "kinesthetically evocative of, or appropriate to, their meaning."

I wish my wife was more intellectual; her speech is like junior-high texting chat with a liberal amount of Bushisms thrown in.

When the mother takes her phone away for going over texting limits, I always wanted the girl to scream "DIAF!!" but she never does.

Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry that I was brought up in a family of teachers but listening to her talk makes me want to punch her in the head.

It's funny, isn't it, that the things you find charming and refreshing at first are the very things that grated on your nerves eventually.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Well, if that's not a recipe for longevity, I don't know what is.
