Words And Phrases I Hate:
Hearts and minds, generally pronounced heartsunminds, and prefaced by the verb "winning". Just shouldn't be allowed - hearts and minds are not siamese twins, you can win one and not the other. And what do you do when you've won them, anyway?

Another one: memorialize. What's wrong with remember? Why do words need to be americanized? Don't play with the language, I say. Well, not too much.
