Ohmigosh! Please do not get me started on the way athletes and coaches speak (or, rather, butcher) English.
One I've been hearing in commercials lately, including one on getting an education, is dropping the word "are" such as, "They out to help you" and, "They compassionate." It drives me nuttier than I already (or is that all ready?) am.
