'lose' and 'loose' used incorrectly drives me nuts. And in this area 'sell' and 'sale' are rarely used correctly. People here 'sale' things at a 'sell'. *I need a 'banging head on a desk' smiley here*

Somewhere in there is a really large groaner with "let them eat cake" in it, but I'm not finding it. ;-)
