Some of my favorites, all of them related (possibly indirectly) to articles I've worked on:

Pet hates

 * 1) Use of adjectives as nouns: "eat more dairy products" [[Image:Check_mark.svg|15px]] not "eat more dairy" [[Image:X mark 18x18 02.gif|20px]] (Consuming a shed is a recipe for indigestion.)
 * 2) Misuse of dashes and hyphens, i.e.:
 * 3) emdash ( &mdash; ) only ever used as parentheses, either with or without spaces, according to style and preference, i.e.: Sdgdf sdasfasag &mdash; bvbnnbsngn jfdgjdj hfhsf agdfgf &mdash; fgagfga fasdfasdf or; Sdgdf sdasfasag&mdash;bvbnnbsngn jfdgjdj hfhsf agdfgf&mdash;fgagfga fasdfasdf.
 * 4) endash ( – ) used in ranges, such as "10–20" years. Now sometimes used as parentheses, usually with spaces, i.e. Sdgdf sdasfasag – bvbnnbsngn jfdgjdj hfhsf  agdfgf – fgagfga fasdfasdf.
 * 5) hyphen ( - ), which should only ever be used both to join two words, without spaces, e.g. Hobson-Jobson. (See also en dash versus em dash.)
 * 6) The qualifier "in the southern hemisphere", which is popular with some of my fellow Australians; do people who use this have any idea what goes on in South America or southern Africa?
