The thing I hate now, which is not a language issue but a sneaky marketing ploy, is the way people selling their software online will have it advertised as: FREE download meaning it's free to download a trial version which you have to pay for if you want to either keep using it or have it work...

Well the English equivalent is "in the morning" and "in the afternoon", which of course people do say, but simply saying AM and PM (spelling out the letters) is very common as well. The suggestion wasn't that people should say "id est" or "exempli gratia", but rather their English equivalents. GP

What about AM, PM, AD, CV, QED, RIP, and SOS? They're also common Latin abbreviations (acronyms) that are typically spoken as letters rather than either the full Latin expression or the English translation (except perhaps RIP, where most assume it's from the English "Rest In Peace" when in fact...

Sorry, but modern language usage doesn't agree with you. Take a look here and here. GP

These are all considered grammatically okay, but some would argue are stylistically unacceptable. There's been much debate about that, but like a lot of grammatical "rules", those who say they are unacceptable are going in the face of a long tradition of literature and other writings. I think...

And another: What did you bring that book I don't want to be read to out of up for? This was supposedly in response to the "rule" that sentences shouldn't end with a preposition - here there are five in a row. GP

It depends on the context. 'I' is the subject, 'me' the object, so it depends where in the sentence it is. Just leave out John and see if it still sounds right. John and I went fishing (I went fishing). He gave the kudos to John and me (he gave the kudos to me). GP

Sheeps yes, but fishes is okay. Either fish or fishes is an acceptable plural (remember those loaves and fishes). GP

It depends. "Team" is a collective noun and can be either singular or plural depending on the meaning. The general idea is that if you are primarily referring to the team itself, and not the people in the team, then it's singular. However, if you're referring to all the people in the team, then...

There is a considerable amount of misconception about what is correct when using that and which. I've seen many people claim that only "that" can be used in certain situations where in fact either "that" or "which" can be used. GP

Not at all. See this blog entry by grammarian Karl Hagen. GP

Then there are those pairs of words which sound like they should have opposite meanings but in fact mean exactly the same thing: flammable / inflammable regardless / irregardless ravel / unravel GP

The loose/lose thing is the most common one I see, but a few others that regularly get confused are: peak/peek/pique affect/effect lie/lay sort/sought your/you're who/whom GP
