Just stumbled on this post. Interesting read. I wish to add another, rather irksome phrase: “so and so… made a loss on the stock markets”.

The sentence “made a loss” is by itself a paradox. The correct usage should be “suffered a loss”. The opposite, i.e. profit, should be used as “made a profit”.

You make a profit, you suffer a loss. You don’t make a loss! =)

It’s humorous to hear people say, “over compensate”

I hate when people are unable to spell the word “metaphor”.
