At the end of the line I take to work, the train operator reminds the disembarking passengers to "take all the belongings and possessions" with them.

“Spot on” should be on the list.

My current linguistic pet peeve seems all of a sudden to have become the norm.

One of the very first grammar lessons in grade school is not to say “the man *he* went to the store.” I remember thinking “why in the world do they find it necessary to teach this? Who ever says that?”

Now everyone on TV who speaks says “the man he went,” “the car it hit,” “the killer he stabbed,” “the mother she cried,” “the apartments they burned.”

Sometimes they try to hide it with “The criminal? He was nabbed.”

The list it goes on.

Let's hope not to hear this one again:

"Thanks for all the support you've given Hillary and I."

“Speak truth to power”. Whenever I hear someone use that phrase, I know they’re an empty-brained moron.

and for misapplying "decimate" when they mean annihilate or destroy, not the word's true meaning of to lose a fraction.

Not just any old fraction though.

Above all, I would immediately ban all Democrats from using “Fight for you,” “Entrenched interests” and “Corporate greed.” Like nails on the blackboard (for those of you who actually remember what a blackboard is, of course).
