On a related point, I hate the way some people (e.g. Steve Wright) do dates e.g.

"Thursday February seven, two thousand eight!"

No

NO!!

It is Thursday THE seventh OF February two thousand AND eight!

Steve Wright seems like a nice person, but he does have lots of very annoying speech affectations. Lots.
