Wayne Rumball's House of Nonsense

The one for me is 'went'

I went and put my boots on, I went and snail mailed my taxes.

My 7th grade composition teacher, Mr. Mclary, would have had a conniption and big red x'ed the shit out of anything he considered excess language.

I hear commentators and others on t.v. do this all the time, people you would think know better. I instinctively flinch expecting them to be called up in front of the class at any minute and humiliated.
