Subject: RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves
I haven't re-read this whole thread but I've never seen anyone mention one irritant: The difference between "in to" versus "into"

"I turned into the police station"- No, you didn't. Not likely, at all.

"I dropped the butter into the bowl with the flour." OK- I'll be right over.
