So late to the party, but I hate when people add an ’s’ to everything. They love to go shopping at Wal-Marts.

Also: secrete or secretion.

Presently and Momentarily, which are nearly always used incorrectly (and mean practically the opposite time), especially in ad-speak. we have soon, presently, shortly, in a little while, in a minute, anon, in a bit, any minute now — why must THEY try and bastardize momentarily?
