Here's one that drives me BONKERS! *"All of a sudden."* What is a "sudden".
And how does "all" of one cause something to occur quickly. What does "part
of a sudden" do? (I looked it up - it is also a noun, but it still drives me
crazy).
Here's a few other words and phrases to add to the list:
ekspecially
ekscape
"I have the slightest idea"
comf-ter-ble (for comfortable)
farhead (for forehead)
acrossed
Bill
