What I can't take anymore is the use of 'sunk' by many writers when they should be using 'sank': her heart sunk, he sunk his knife in up to the hilt, the sun sunk below the horizon. I listen to many audiobooks and this seems to be increasing. I don't know why this bothers me as much as it does, but there you have it.
Many writers also do not seem to know what the prone position is.

Yah, even techno thrillers routinely refer to machineguns being toted around & fired one-handed. When they get to naming names, they always seem to mean a submachine gun or an assault rifle. A detail, but like you say, it shakes the reader's confidence in the author, & clouds that willing suspension of disbelief.

(It sounds like a horrible Christmas song, maybe to the tune of "O, Christmas Tree": "O hopeful any... thing, O hopeful... any thing. Will stick to Truh-ump. As it turrrrns out. )

I agree wholeheartedly about the horrid phrase. It would seem that someone "influential" in the political arena said it recently and now the parrots are repeating it. I'm sure it will phase itself out after the next "cool" thing comes along!

OMG and kms.
Wtf.
America surely is a laughingstock in countries like Sweden.
You know what bites? My old laptop crashed and I bought a cheap one to tide me over and the keyboard is THE WORST. It skips over letters unless I pound on it. I type fast and it just doesn't keep up at all. That's what I get for teasing other people! Several times today I've had to edit because of missing letters. I fully expect to be seeing my own badly typed posts in this thread at some point.
