Adding "pre-" to nouns

You don't "pre-drill" holes. You either drill them or you don't. You don't "pre-order" tickets on Ticketmaster. You order them. You don't "pre-rinse" dishes before you go in the dishwasher. You rinse them. (And if you need to rinse them, you need a new dishwasher anyway.) Stop adding "pre-" to verbs when it's not needed!

"Trouper," not "trooper"

Don't use cliches like "she was a trooper" if you don't know what they mean. The correct word is "trouper," meaning someone who pulls their weight in a troupe or team.

Feel BAD. BAD. BAD.

You don't "feel badly" even if that sounds extra-classy like an adverb. You feel BAD.

Lend versus loan

Loan is a noun. Lend is a verb. So do you "loan" someone your card? Not unless you're a moron. You LEND someone your car.

"Eat healthy"

You don't "eat healthy." You eat healthfully. Verbs such as "eat" are modified by adverbs, not adjectives. Healthy is an adjective. Healthfully is an adverb.

SO STOP SAYING YOU EAT HEALTHY.

FINISHED, not DONE

YOU are not DONE. YOU are FINISHED. Tasks are DONE, people are FINISHED.

Is that so hard? No. So STOP IT, IDIOTS.

Two words

Stop joining words that shouldn't be joined. The TV show "Mad Men" is called "Mad Men," not "Madmen." The White House is the White House, not the Whitehouse.
