It would be interesting to see if the entire global wealth was to be split equally between every single person on the planet what would happen?
I'd suggest that, eventually, there would be those who would make it make it work for them, those who would squander it, those who would take advantage of those who would squander it etc.
So nothing would change then?

They spell 'labor', 'honor', etc correctly (i.e. directly from the original Latin, not with the irritating French-influenced '-our' that we've succumbed to), and they are absolutely right to treat "Y" as a vowel (rule: every syllable needs a vowel..... 'sky', 'cry', etc).
Mind you, the whole world mispronounces 'rhythm'....... (it's one syllable, it's not 'rith-um'.............)

"henceforth I will promptly be doing the needful"
I don't care if it's an accepted use in half the world it really pisses me off
"go with"
"come with"
"bring with"
If you're too lazy to use the extra word you can "**** off elsewhere with"

'mate' - I'm not your ****ing mate. Also, calling your Director 'mate' is not acceptable, it's a matter of time before he has you for dinner.
'like' - We are not in California, or the OC or in One Tree Hill. Go and like jump off a like bridge.
'ain't' - You just sound like an absolute thundercnut.
'your' and 'you're' - I don't care if it has an extra letter and bit of punctuation in it. Just type them and you sound instantly more intelligent.
Those are three that regularly bug me. There are millions more.
